A friend has just read me an article from the Sunday Telegraph main
paper which says that Carol Klein has had to close her nursery, Glebe
Cottage Plants. It says she has had a row with the landlord over a
large pile of compost. I gather the land on which the nursery stands
is only rented tthough her house and garden are owned.

It was in the Guradian a few days ago.

Seems a bit daft to me.

There are two sides to it. He claims she's left the nursery area in a
messy state with a compost heap close to his door. She claims he gave
her notice only because she criticised publicly the way he'd
'butchered' trees when pruning them. He says she said that after he'd
given her notice etc. Apparently, he bought the land from its original
owner quite recently. I believe the plan is to re-organise the garden
to incorporate the nursery into it but as neither were very big, I
wonder if she'll have to acquire more land from somewhere.

I find it very sad.
I hope it turns out to be a storm in a tea cup and that they
eventually make up
