HOUSE ARRANGEMENTS

We will assess and improve your home administration, by creating an easy to use system for filing household bills, finances and all your important personal documents. Confidentiality is secured by ensuring all disposed material is shredded, and for guaranteed reassurance, Busy Lizzie always signs a confidentiality contract. This gives you the customer, your due protection.

Busy Lizzie can also arrange to take your old clothes and books, and through listing them on eBay, can perhaps earn you some money as well!

INTERIOR DESIGN, BUILDING & RENOVATION

After an initial consultation, we take your brief, and then bring in the necessary trades people for your project. Busy Lizzie will Project Manage the whole operation from start to finish, freeing you to get on with your day-to-day routine.

Planning

• Use garden notes, photos and sketches to assess areas which need plants
• Determine types and quantities of plants to order
• Begin to order plants from seed and nursery catalogues

Chores & Maintenance

• Continue to provide burlap windbreaks for boxwood and broad-leaved evergreens unitl ground freezes
• Complete protection of trees from mouse damage with wire mesh trunk guards
• Keep bird feeders filled throughout winter

Planting

• Prune evergreen branches to use in holiday decorating
• Continue to rejuvenate overgrown shrubs as weather permits, until new growth begins in spring

Indoors

• Keep newly purchased Christmas trees in a bucket of water in a cool place
• Set up Christmas tree in a reservoir stand. Cut on a slant about 1" above existing cut for optimum water absorption
• Be sure to keep reservoir filled and place tree in the coolest part of the room
• Sterilize the tree stand with a solution of boiling water, vinegar, and household bleach after use
• When buying houseplants in winter be sure to wrap them well for the trip home. This prevents the foliage from freezing and protects tropicals from drafts
• Give houseplants as much light as possible as days grow shorter
• Hold off on fertilising indoor plants until spring
• Provide houseplants with increased humidity; mist often or place plants over a tray of moist pebbles
• Continue to plant prepared bulbs for indoor forcing
• As houseplants grow more slowly during winter, increase the time between waterings but do not cut back on the amount of water
• In frigid nights protect indoor plants from freezing; move them away from the glass or cover glass with thick newspaper or cardboard
• Clean leaves of large and smooth- leaved houseplants like dracaena, philodendron, ficus etc.
