Autumn is such a great time to get planting; cooler and rainy days make for moist soils and they’re still hugging the warmth of Summer suns.
We really want your new plants to get off to the best start and that’s why we’re giving them a boost for you!
🌺Spend £45 or more on garden plants during September or October and we’ll throw in a free box of Bonemeal (rrp £4.49).
🌳Buy a tree and we’ll give you a packet of ‘Rootgrow’ (rrp £3.99). That’s on top of a free stake & tie.
Both products are just the job to get your newbies rooting for you👍😊

Sadly today we bid farewell to our colleague Gill. Gill is one of our cooks and has been a loyal member of our Orangery Tearoom for the last 15 years.
The NHG Team all wish you loads of luck in your new role Gill☺️
Our Graham was more than happy to step in for this as apparently he’s already ‘down with the kids’😬🙈

Then if you haven’t already, you’ve got to pop in and say hello👋 to our friendly and very welcoming resident artist Christina of Celadonia Ceramics. She’s with us as part of our ‘Art in the Garden’ event running until the end of August.
Check out her work. It’s beautiful, take it from us👍 If you fancy something a bit more bespoke she’ll happily produce her pieces in different colours and even personalise for you…and that goes for pet bowls too! You’ll also find pieces for sale in our gift shop.
Although she doesn’t currently run classes, if you ask very nicely she may even give you a wee turn at her wheel😉
Every Saturday to Wednesday 10am-3pm.
