Welcome to companion planting! It’s an organic way to protect your crops from pests and it could help improve pollination of your crops too. We've put together some of the best known partnerships to help you improve the health of your crop without needing pesticides. 🐝

It’s Rescue Dog Day and what better way to celebrate than introducing CareDogs who will be at our Petals and Paws event. CareDogs is a local charity hoping to solve loneliness and social isolation in older people with their befriending Service🐕‍🦺 👵🏽

The Tiger’s Head pub sign,
which came down in Storm Henk,is back up. It’s refurbished & restored to how it was before it fell in January.

The pub sign takes its name from the tiger emblem found in the family crest of the landowners, the Walsingham’s.

Dogs and ducks don’t mix! It’s the breeding season for water birds, but it’s also a time when a boisterous dog can cause harm and distress & unfortunately we have received some reports of dogs going into the water and chasing birds.
