Easter is the start of outdoor time, so remember that the right trees and shrubs add value to your property.
Can a garden sell a property? Yes, if the purchaser is a keen gardener like Nicola Gammon, who became hugely frustrated that she couldn't search estate agent's listings by garden when she was looking for a flat in North London. She wanted to know size, aspect and style of a garden before deciding to visit the property, but no one could tell her.

Now she's to set up a 'Gardens for Sale' facility on her garden-advice website (www.shootgardening.co.uk) where sellers show photographs of their garden and provide a plant inventory along with all the usual details of the property. The service is still in its infancy - only shoot members can post their properties - but perhaps it will encourage estate agents to follow her lead.
