Growing Your Own! Growbars tried and tested by the team :) We thought we'd share the progress of our 'Growbar' which we started almost 2 weeks ago.

Spring is Sprouting and we have some ideas! Those daylight hours are getting longer and of course, Spring is that perfect time for getting into your space to prune and pot. And we wouldn't be a proper shop if we didn't tell you what we have as perfect gifts for green fingered friends or relatives. Option B, as always is to gift to yourself!

The Feel-Good Hit of the Year! Without doubt the product line that most caught the eye last year, both in our shop and on our website was the Jimbobart range.

It's a quirky range that includes the full gamut of kitchen and dining accessories fro...
