HEDGING YOUR BETS!!

Hello - the end of a WILD AND WET WEEK here at the nursery!! Some days it has not been fit for man nor beast to be out - but we plod on!!

Fortunately, the day of our WINTER PRUNING COURSE was actually the only dry and sunny day of the week - so we could not have timed that better!! 19 gardeners had a very enjoyable morning up in the orchard learning about fruit tree pruning. Our reserve course on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 23RD only has three places left as I type this - so if you want to come on this one - GET YOUR SKATES ON!! - and contact the office on 01394 460755. I am sure we will run new courses in the New Year - but no dates have yet been set for those.

We are very close to starting our new bare-root HEDGING season - although lifting has not started quite yet - EXPECTED ABOUT 10 DAYS - we are taking orders - so if you know what you want and would like to get the pick of the crop - contact us.

We have revamped our popular HEDGING PACKS for 2010-2011 - and these include some new mixes - by popular demand we are introducing a 'BIG SOFTY - THORNFREE MIX' -many people do not want a thorny old hedge - and we have put together a pack that will give you a dense barrier - but without the prickles!!!

This has been the best autumn for leaf colour for years - and we have put together a PAINTERS PALETTE pack, which will give you an outstanding display of colour every year - combine this with our new NATURE'S LARDER pack - which has been selected to provide a stunning fruiting hedge - great for wildlife - and you!!

We also have the opposite to the 'Big Softy' Mix - and that is the 'KEEP 'EM OUT' mix - or it could be called the 'KEEP THEM IN'!!! This is the thorniest mix we can make up - and will certainly deter 'unwanted' visitors!

We are still offering our 'MIXED NATIVE' packs - a mix of traditional Suffolk hedgerow plants.

All of these packs contain 50 PLANTS which is sufficient to do a 10 metre double-row hedge. As mentioned above - these will be available in a few weeks - but can be pre-ordered to save delay.

UNTIL NEXT TIME,
