    That really made me well up @Tui34 . Thank you for posting it, it sums up the whole situation and the response. I have relatives in Oz, and visited Bondi many years ago.

    I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.

    Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?

    I have a smallish town garden, it wouldn't take much to get it looking tidy. But I'm trying to teach myself not to faff so much and leave things alone.
