Keep in mind 

Although the toxicity of these plants is minimal and fine to have around pets, any plant consumed in large quantities can be harmful. We advise to keep plants in rooms where the pet is perhaps not allowed or out of reach on a worktop or shelf. A great way to still have plants in the rooms you want them is to use pot stands. They are highly fashionable and on trend, you'll certainly be able to find one that suits your decor and it raises your houseplants up out of the way! 

 

If your pet has consumed a plant that you're unsure the toxicity of, you can contact the Animal Poison Line 24/7. Their contact number is 01202 509000 or you can also visit the HTA website  www.hta.org.uk/poisonousplants

Our German Market is in full swing with all the favourites; Schokokuss, bratwurst, Bavarian Curling, beer, Stollen and lots of carefully selected authentic products. No need for the Eurostar, and parking is free.
Our staff are soooo excited that our cut Christmas trees have arrived-well Louise is particularly excited.
They look and smell wonderful and are really getting us in the festive spirit. Our top quality Nordmann Fir no drop trees range from 4 foot to 7 foot and are priced from £29.99 to £79.99. Can’t fit it in your car? No problem, we offer a home delivery service which one of our team will be happy to advise on. We also sell a range of artificial and potted Christmas trees, so something for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you at Meadow Croft

That industrious group at SWF Man Shed have made this fantastic Library for the Community Garden. It just keeps getting better down there.
Schokokuss or chocolate kisses are a festive staple in Germany and at our market.
