News from the nursery:
Wow…what a weekend! Due to Storm Darragh we closed the nursery last weekend & just kept the meadow open for buying Christmas Trees. For those of you who braved the rain & wind to come to choose your tree you would have noticed we had to do things a bit differently. We had a pop-up till set up in one of our vans to keep it dry & out of the wind. Between myself & mum we manned the tills and tried to keep everyone feeling festive. Our Christmas Tree Team were super stars, not seeming to mind dealing with the British weather whilst helping customers with their chosen tree (although I’m sure they were glad of a hot shower and dry clothes by the end of the day!). We have had another fresh delivery of tree in ready for this weekend so don’t panic that you have missed out!?
We are back to normal now with our tills & Reindeer Challenge welcome area at the front of the nursery. We also have a lovely selection of holly wreaths, door rings, fruit wreaths & bunches of English mistletoe for you to decorate your home. Throughout the nursery we have some beautiful hellebores, skimmia or cyclamen. If you are looking for gifts there are various hyacinth arrangements in our flower shop or what about a rose plant. If you are looking for a flowering gift basket or bouquet of flowers we are taking pre-orders on our website or in the nursery for delivery or collection after the 20th December.
Roll up, roll up…we now have our Golden Tickets available at the nursery. Buy a Golden Ticket for a chance to win a holiday! You could win a week in a holiday cottage on the coast of Wales for up to 8 people. We are selling these special tickets for £20 each, with all proceeds going to the wonderful mental health charities Mind & Restore. Click here to view details of the beautiful holiday home.
