Wreaths and the such like ..

October 5, 2020 Tim Brook

Workshops ..

We have made the tricky decision not to run any of our Winter workshops in our little shop this year. To do them safely and comfortably in our small space we feel, would be difficult.

We are however, offering a “wreath at home” box.
This will be a box, delivered locally to your doorstep (you can collect if not) which includes ..

a copper wreath ring

a reel of wire

moss

beautiful foliage

ribbon

simple written instructions

Everything you need to create your own wonderful winter wreath. We will also be doing a little video ( good lord how terrifying) which you can watch if you need a little extra help!!

The box will cost £25, and we think would make a gorgeous early gift for someone , or just a lovely thing to do in your own home.

I can of course make a wreath for you if you prefer. These will cost £35 and our order book is now open.

Please email shop@thepottingsheds.com to place an order including your phone number so I can ring you, or ring me on 01704 823313 if you need and help.

Thank you xx

A day out and things to Come ..

September 29, 2020 Tim Brook

So off we go ... a day out, a big walk and a picnic.

You know it’s going to be a good day when you look down in the trusty patio doors mini and this is in the footwell.

The Ribble Valley really is stunning . The plan was to have a breakfast picnic, go on a big walk, and then a lazy lunch picnic. A perfect day.

We found a spot. The breakfast picnic was gorgeous ... we chattered, decided that to live by a bubbling brook would be lovely, and then we realised that hours had passed by so, the walk was a good idea.

Off we set, leaving behind our completely perfect spot. 4 minutes into the hill walk, we had aching legs and chattering was rather tricky due to hardly being able to breathe.

Not long after this we turned round and returned to our perfect spot for our lazy lunch. Gin went into the river to cool and the rest of the day was idyllic.

This is a possible relocation spot, it has the bubbling brook and the best picnic spot you can imagine. Thank you to the picnic provider, it was lovely. My go next.

In other news..

We have had many enquiries about wreaths and workshops. Our wreath order book is filling up nicely, thank you. If you would like to order one please email shop@thepottingsheds.com or phone me on 01704 823313.
We are just deciding about the viability of running workshops just at this moment, I shall let you know about this next week.

We will however be offering a “wreath at home package”.

This will be a festive box delivered to your door, (you can collect if not local) containing everything you need to make your own wonderful Christmas wreath. Beautiful foliage, a copper wreath ring, a reel of wire, moss and ribbon, plus simple written instruction will be included.

This may be a lovely thing to do with a friend in your own home if you have made a wreath before or if you prefer to stay in your own little bubble.

Details of this will be sent out shortly.

Have the loveliest day xx

Catching up..

August 20, 2020 Tim Brook

Hi there …

We are all slowly getting used to this strange new world of masks, distancing and one way systems, a new way of being for now …

The shop is now back open Tuesday to Sunday’s from 10am- 5pm. It has been really lovely, busy and very flowery ……. a calm busy if you know what I mean, the loveliest kind, so thank you.

Our landscaping team are back out creating the most beautiful spaces for clients.

Whether you know exactly what you want, and have your plans, moodboard and Pinterest, or if you don’t know where to start, and need advice and guidance …. their vision, creativity, skills, and eye for detail, really is something very special.

The planting and maintenance team are also working flat out.

Catching up with all of the gardens that we care for and maintain, and also helping to create all of the many beautiful garden and planting dreams that days of lockdown brought.

Thank you to everybody who has sent us supportive and kind messages. We are back, stronger than ever, and we really are grateful xx

An outing ..

July 23, 2020 Tim Brook

First stop was the the lovely Holden Clough Nursery, Bolton by Bowland .

What a lovely place, beautifully set out and such gorgeous plants.

Then up Pendle Hill, I can’t believe I haven’t been here before. It was very beautiful, and a bit steep for someone who has eaten almost none stop since March 23rd.

“Is that a tulle petticoat ?” .. always appropriately dressed for any occasion.

My new favourite place, an evening sat here … in the sunshine, with ice creams.

And then ……

Found this and fell in love.
By the time we left, I had moved in, opened a flower shop, replanted the beautiful trough at the front door, bought a floppy eared donkey, and lived happily ever xx

Thank you to everybody who visited us on Saturday for our first day of re-opening.

We were a little nervous as to how the day would go, but, after a slight hitch with my one way system, all was fab.

Everybody was so kind, respectful and thoughtful to others, it was lovely to see, so thank you.

House plants are now on our plant list which is available to see at shop.thepottingsheds.com. We will happy deliver locally, post out to you, or you can of course safely collect it you prefer.
