Last week, we kicked off our night markets in style, and what a night it was! We had a full house of stalls, each offering unique treasures, and our garden centre was bustling with enthusiastic visitors throughout the evening.
It was a spectacular start to our series of night markets, and we can’t wait for the next one.
If you missed our recent Christmas Sale event, fret not! We continue to offer fantastic discounts on lights, decorations, and trees. It’s the perfect opportunity to spruce up your home for the holidays while saving big.
We’d like to give a special shout-out to our incredible Events Manager, Georgina, and everyone who joined us for this year’s wreath-making class. The mulled wine flowed, and the creativity soared. The wreaths you crafted were nothing short of fabulous. Check out our Facebook page to see some of the stunning creations.

Plant of the Week – Hellebores
Hellebores have flowers ranging from green to white to plum in color, and as the flowers gently hang their heads, they can look stunning in raised borders, retaining walls, or on sloping beds.
If planting in containers, remember to water well in drier months as they prefer moist, well-drained soil. This week, enjoy 20% off Berry fruit plants.
