Family and staff on open day
6th March 2010
At last the plants are starting to show signs of growth. It has certainly been the longest, coldest winter in our 23 years of growing here at Hall Farm Nursery, and we think the season is 4 weeks behind recent years. The snowdrops have been exceptional this year.
As we look back over 2009, we reflect on a successful year and we hope for an enjoyable & successful season in 2010. We have lots of special events planned and we will be attending many plant fairs in Shropshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire and other neighbouring counties, you can see these listed on our Plant Fairs and Shows page.
We would like to thank everyone who supported our charity fund raising events in September, helping to raise £2250 for the Perry Group of Riding for the Disabled. We particularly thank John Massey for giving his time to present his brilliant lecture for us.
We have exciting plans to exhibit at the 2010 Chelsea Flower Show with the Riding for the Disabled Association, who will be celebrating their 40th anniversary. These plans have now been accepted by the RHS and preparations are well underway. We have a beautiful pony & rider sculpture which has been made for us by fine art sculptor Rupert Till. The competition to name the pony was won by Ernie Bevan of Knockin Heath, Rupert Till selected the name Wyreboy, so Ernie wins 2 tickets for Chelsea Flower Show.
If anyone wants to join a coach to Chelsea with two nights in London, a trip is being organised from Kinnerley, then email us & we will give you the details.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes
Christine & Nick
