Jason has been out coppicing so we have bean poles again - 8ft, 6ft + 4ft flower stakes and pea sticks.
Note: he doesn’t use a chain saw for cutting hazel, but I like the photo and couldn’t find one of him dressing out with a billhook.

It’s cold and sunny in Manchester. Sunny! Things are happening at the garden centre; an awakening that builds week on week.

We’re reopening on Thursday 27th Feb. We always have a winter break because… it’s cold in winter in Manchester and I don’t want to attract people to my business by selling shite made in the far east or with the promise of coffee and cake.
