    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    I like the scent of the Sarcococca - not many flower scents I dislike. Some people do tend to lose their sense of smell ( and taste) as they get older.

    Help needed with Buxus Plants!

    Good idea. I only realised after I removed mine that it had been propping up the neighbour's fence, which promptly fell down.

    This magnificent critter shows up very infrequently, she must have a large territory to cover. I just wish she would put a dent in the gray squirrel population.
