  • Teasel Tuesday

    Today was the day to begin prepping all of the dried teasels from last year in readiness for the wreath making season. Each teasel is cleaned and shaken by hand to release any remaining seeds which are then used for sowing more plants and for bird food. Goldfinches just love teasels and descend on our…

  • Harvest Wreath Success!

    First prize at the Hesketh Bank Village Show for my ‘Harvest Circle’ creation. I’ve never done any flower arranging before but I couldn’t miss out on the chance to include logs, pumpkins and wreaths so very pleased with coming first! Slices of our home grown Silver Birch made up  the base with a simple squash…

  • Fresh wreath making has started!

    The first lorry load of Spruce has arrived from Scotland and production of our orders is underway. The first 2016 order is now complete; 30 spruce wreaths and 250 grave pots for a customer in Bolton. One down…. many more to go. We only start Holly wreaths 1st December so at least we have a…

  • Green wire wreath bases

These items are sold all…

  • Brown Jute String

    Just arrived and unpacked this afternoon… 500g bundles of four ply natural jute twine. Ideal for crafts and around the house and garden, these big brown balls of string have been much requested but we have struggled to find a quality we are happy with. Worth the wait we hope! We will get them loaded onto…

  • Ever changing seasons

    Well that’s the pumpkins done for another year. It is always a bit sad removing all the unsold pumpkins but it needs to be done and it is nice to get the space back in the yard. Unlike the pumpkins, the unsold winter squashes will ‘keep’ and provide us with some welcome vegetables throughout the…
