n this page you will find a few photographs of some of the activities that go on at my work place, more will be added at a later time. Although the weather has been cold and wet we still receive orders from Garden Centre's that need to be fulfilled. After the wettest 12 months since 1776 we are approx 18,000 rose orders down at the moment, but we hope to catch this up when warmer weather arrives.

We are just approaching the bank holiday, the weather is beautiful and we have just about caught up with the deficit of 18,000 roses.
At this time of year one of the most important jobs to do is spacing the pots, as they get bigger they need more space. The photo's show "The Lads" moving the pots from one bed to another.
It also signifies the end of the bareroot season and the sheds are cleared ready for the coming year.
