New on-line Garden Shop is now open
There are some things that a gardener just can’t do without, so I’ve put together essential gardening kit in my garden shop for you to buy online. They’re all products that I enjoy using and I hope you do too. And one of my garden essentials while I’m doing my spring pruning and training is garden twine – particularly in these great colours of liquorice and cinnamon!
There are other products too, and more will be added over the coming weeks so keep a look out for what’s new.
All the items would make great gifts – but don’t forget to treat yourself, too. And remember you only pay a flat-rate on postage, however many items you buy!
