THE GARDEN THAT MOVED HOUSE!
Artist Verena Devoy loves gardening. It is her passion. Until three days ago she lived in a lovely little thatched cottage in a village near Cambrige. She spent ten years and thousands of pounds to make her garden there beautiful. She had flowers and plants for every season of the year.
In autumn, big orange chrysanthemums grew next to the gold of the trees and bushes. In winter, little white snowdrops grew in the grass and under the trees. In spring there were bright yellow daffodils all over her front lawn and tulips and primroses next to the path. And summer! Summer was the pretties season of all! She bought hundreds of roses to fill every part of the garden: she bought climbing roses to put round the windows and doors, pink roses for the front garden, and red and white roses for the back. A lot of people came to the village especially to see Verenas garden. It was more beautiful than the park.
Then last summer she decided that she would like to move to a bigger house. It was easy to sell her beautiful cottage. Mr and Mrs Grey from London came to see it.
We fell in love with it immediately, especially the garden- we couldnt believe the colours of the roses. We wanted to move from London because we didnt have a garden there.
Of course Mr and Mrs Grey bought the cottage and at the end of the summer they moved from London. They arrived at the cottage.
There was no garden! There was a brown field with some stones and rocks. There werent any flowers or trees and there wasnt any grass! It looked terrible! We couldnt believe our eyes!
But it was true! Verena Devoy loved her garden so much that she took it with her when she left. Five large lorries carried all the flowers, trees, and plants to her new house five miles away. It cost 1,000! She says:
Ive got a much bigger garden now and Im going to make it even more beautiful than my first garden. Im going to plant all the flowers and trees again and this time Im going to have a pond with some goldfish.
And Mr and Mrs Grey? What do they say? She cant do this! We bought the garden with the house! Were going to see our solicitor!
