It seems like spring has started, this morning we had 6 deliveries in an hour and half. Stock is just piling in, plants, compost, giftware and gardening equipment. Even if we say it ourselves we think we have a great range of gardening products available, we are not an out of town superstore but a proper garden centre.
Conme along and judge for yourself and let us know if we are missing some thing you feel we should have, but please do not ask for Gnomes as that is something we will draw a line at.

The week ahead
At long last it looks like a week when the weather may be on our side. The forast is to become quite a bit warmer and drier, maybe even double digit figures.
With a bit of sun on our backs we have have a bit more confidence in bringing in more stock to sell.
At the end of the week our Early spring leaflet gets distributed, so look out for some offers on exciting gardening products, but act fast as this is very much time limited.

Burglar plants
Security Gardening: Deter Burglars with Thorny Landscape
At some point after a home burglary, your neighborhood police officer will probably give you the "do and don'ts" of landscape security. Dense landscaping is an invitation for burglars, and houses that can't be seen from the street are at the highest risk for break-ins.

Snow and trade
What a week, even here on the sunny south coast we have been struck down with snow.
Monday saw difficult weather conditions and we hardly saw a single customer all day, then on Tuesday it really hit and staff had difficulty in getting in to work. Even Patrick Fairweather had to serve in the coffee shop as staff were unable to drive in.
Oddly enough we have sold three sets of furniture this last week but hardly anybody has ventured out into the plant area.
On Tuesday admist the snow we had our first delivery of little seedling plants, what a shock for them. These little plants offer great value for money but only if you can keep the temperatures high enough to keep them alive and growing. We have seen the sales of these declining each year and it may be last time we supply these.
