Nesa's garden- EARTH SHAKING NEWS

With the MP's help, my husband has got the Town Council to reverse their decision. I get my patch back and more.They're giving me a BIGGER PLOT (I can decide on the size, hubby has told me not to get carried away but pick a manageable size), will bring in good topsoil for me and fence it up for free! Isn't that wonderful? They are still keen on the Gardening club community plot which they want me to be in charge of and my hubby who's in the committee will officially have power to make decisions. They will provide labour to help maintain that as well as finance it.What do you think?
I think what really turned the tables in this matter was our MP. He was impressed with pics I had taken of my garden as well as a 3 page letter I brought along and left with him which gave details of my EXOTIC plants (seeds from all over the world, the Sungold for e.g is exotic here). Also I've got to say that my hubby is a master negotiator(natural politician!) who is already an office bearer in the committe and he pulled off this miracle. The horticultural officer who came and saw my plot before the destruction also supported us.
Well guys and gals, I wanna really thank you for your support, prayres  and encouragement at this time too, for helping us not give up.And I hope now you guys will know that good things do happen in Singapore. Sometimes when you go through the right channels things do work out well. Our authorities can be reasonable.In this case it was a matter of the people on the top not knowing what was happening. The other neighbours who lost their gardens can also get plots back provided they undertake to care for them and my husband now has the power to make decisions on this matter.
All's well that end's well.This story has a Happy Ending!
