Weather Alert for our Open days
Severe weather warnings have been issued for Monday, although this weather front may not even hit Bridgewater; the met office are saying that “there is a large amount of uncertainty at present”.
Whatever the weather does or does not do, staff from both Tuckers and Rijk Zwaan will all still be at Huntstile, to meet, discuss varieties and techniques and answer your questions, as will our ten trade stands. If necessary, we will simply move to t...he cover of the marquee where the refreshments are and take advantage of any breaks in the weather to venture outside. Bring your wellies though! We look forward to seeing you there.

Flower of the day get 10% off a Nigella - Hardy Annual
... Normally sown in situ from March onwards when soil conditions allow. Usually flowering from June until the frosts kill them. For earlier flowers many species can be sown in September a...nd overwintered in mild areas. Hardy annuals are generally easy to grow, quick to flower and are great for filling in gaps. However large or small your garden they represent great value for money.
More romantically known as Love in a mist, which is a far better descriptive name. Fluffy, star like, pretty flowers are displayed amidst fine greenery. A subtly coloured plant to grace any flowerbed. The heads are often dried and used in flower arrangements. Sow at 18-20ºC (64-68ºF) Cover with vermiculite or compost. Can be sown directly in situ and thinned as required.
