We have been working hard to improve the garden of the terminally ill to give the bed-bound a nicer view.

We have not seen the roses - all snapped off and taken as soon as they bloom.

Two valiant sunflowers made it to bloom in late summer after battling the slugs - completely uprooted and taken by thieves as they came into flower.

Now we find the baby Christmas tree has been stolen.

Why do people think it is acceptable to take flowers from other people's gardens? It is soul-destroying.
