Blooming Gift Ideas for Garden Lovers – November newsletter

The ‘white stuff’ has arrived which means it must be time to send out the last newsletter of the year and wish all my wonderful friends and visitors very warm seasons greetings.

It is also time to remind you of some gift ideas for garden lovers. We have an excellent offer on our 2026 Season Ticket and our Gift Vouchers can be used to purchase plants or workshops. If you have a family to buy for, an advanced family ticket for the wildlife day makes a good sustainable gift – offering an experience rather than more ‘stuff.’

I am sure that you are like me in that as you keep cosy in the winter you begin to look forward to spring. That’s what we have been doing here – planting huge numbers of bulbs in the garden and potting up plants to sell in the plant nursery. Our plant catalogue for 2026 is now available for you to browse through and order plants. By arranging to pick them up from the nursery, you don’t have to wait until we open on 1st April.

We are already pulling together dates for workshops next year, starting in February with ‘Apple Pruning,‘ ‘Grow the Best Possible Vegetables’ in March and ‘Make a Wire Hen’ and ‘How to be Cheerful about Shade’ in April. We will be adding more over the next few weeks, so please pop over to our website to see what we have on offer and book soon.
