The original garden was full of trees and bushes, with followers saying it looked "10 times bigger" now.

Sophie explained: "The trees took up 70% of the garden.

"Literally didn't even have a space for a table and chairs. Didn't realise how big it was until we striped it back."

But one follower replied: "Ah the thought of all of those well established plants and bushes being binned is awful."
