News The work in the lower section of the garden continues and now the grass seed has been sown and we wait for it to green up that area. The overgrown leylandii and spruce were felled last Autumn and have now been replaced with some key specimen trees. A double hedge has been planted on the boundary to Pilley Hill and is showing spring growth. We are now marking out the new beds and deciding on the shape of the pond. The new deer and rabbit fencing with luck will protect the new plantings. Work also continues in the nursery and we have new sections for acers and magnolias. In the office, the database is still a work in progress as we list the plants found in both the garden and the nursery. The plan is to make much more information available on the website in the future. Peter Chappell still lives at Spinners and is on hand to offer plant advice to the owners Andrew and Vicky Roberts.
