This is my first newsletter since starting the nursery in 1982. I just
wish the internet was here then as this is much more personal than mail
order. This is the time of year for the bareroot plants, mostly for farmers and country people. At the moment there are several schemes for farmers to reinstate hedges. Forty years ago there were grants for bulldozing them out! Now there are grants for planting them back again. They nowhere near cover the hard work and overall expense,. but as part of a larger picture, I hope it turns out to be worthwhile. Now and until April I mainly sell four categories. Quickthorn, blackthorn, green beech and hazel. These are suitable for a hedge that gets trimmed annually The plants that make small trees, elder,rowan,lilac, birch, are more suitable for a hedge that grows into a windbreak. These also make a great home for wildlife, birds etc. Farmers and gardeners will often plant up an odd corner with this type of mix.
These plants are all sold at size 40-60cms. Sometimes they come bigger, but at no extra cost. Post and packaging are at cost and VAT is included. There is also VAT on the postal charge.
