The good news for gardeners is that the colder nights are coming to an end and we are now forecast for some sunny days and much warmer nights. Hooray I hear you say!
The good news continues. For hungry gardeners our restaurant has reopened in line with new government guidelines and our outdoor terrace, a real suntrap, is ready to welcome you. In fact you could say: Shooby doo-wop she-bop, chang chang changitty chang sha-bop. Confused? Let me explain…
Summer Living
(Wasn’t that a hit for Olivia Newton John and John Travolta? – Ah now you see where this one is going, get ready with your hand jives).
It’s been a crazy few weeks on outdoor living with many of you looking for outdoor furniture and fire pits/chimineas* to keep you comfortable and warm. We still have a large range of firepits and chimineas, our range of Hartman wicker has sold extremely well and we still have some items available. Our range of Hartman Cast Aluminium is due in next week so if you’re looking to increase or update your furniture then please visit our website to view our ranges in stock and ranges due. How about a song?
