In a not-far-away town they were selling 5 pots of Snowdrops for £5 in the market, so I bought some. The flowers are gone now but I'll put them in the ground where I can see them next winter. When they were in flower they were 2 pots for £5, so they must have been selling them off.

If it's still solidly in the ground and not tilted/wobbly, I would leave it alone. The parts holding the panels look to be intact. I suppose it depends whether the appearance bothers you. Maybe the metal rods should be covered over with something but I'm no expert on what would be suitable.

is there a reason why my Gaultheria Procumbens keeps getting dug up
I wouldn't put broken glass in the pot. It would be cruel to harm whatever is doing the digging as they know no better. Maybe spread some extra hot chilli powder on it as a deterrent.

@LunarSea I've never heard of that but I don't think there are any trees near the medical centre now. Otherwise I would think perhaps that is where he came from, as I do actually live in Macclesfield.
