Climbers, Clematis and Companions

Spent the day at Winchester garden centre today giving a talk on Climbers; 90+ people came along and crammed into Winchesters compact and well stocked shop. Great fun, and as always i come away with ideas and inspiration from the audience, hopefully ive given them some ideas as well. Chichester on Tuesday was the same - 200 people in the audience which tested us all when the questions came rolling in. See the Events page for details of talks being held next week at some of our other store - join us for an Adventure in Gardening!

Busy week in the Garden Centres

What a week - the garden centres have been heaving with customers; finally spring has arrived bringing with it gorgeous weather and a great choice of top quality plants from our nursery. Speaking of which, the nursery have been flat out, processing orders and burning the midnight oil to keep all our customers stocked up and happy. Garden Centre staff, who just cant get enough, have even been helping on the nursery in their spare time, lifting plants, loading trollies and lorries, and even washing pots; at this time of year theres not enough hours in the day, and always something to do!
