🎵 Lottie’s Holiday Essentials 🎵

Pack my bags, I’m on my way,
Sunshine calling, holiday! ☀️
Passport ready, shades are on,
But wait a minute… something’s gone!

I’ve got my sun cream, got my clothes,
Got everything I need… almost!
There’s one thing that HAS to come with me…

☕ My Synergy! ☕

Morning coffee, wherever I go,
Wi******er roasted, don’t you know!
From Garthowen all the way to the sun,
Holiday mode has officially begun!

Ten years local, tried and true,
There’s some things you just don’t leave behind…
And good coffee’s one of them too! ☕❤️

Passport ✔️
Sun cream ✔️
Synergy Blend ✔️
Lottie… OUT OF OFFICE! ✈️☀️

This is why we grow flowers. 🌸🐝

Not only to fill our gardens with colour and beauty, but to provide vital food and shelter for the pollinators that help keep our ecosystem strong.

Every bee, butterfly and beneficial insect has an important role to play—and every flower we plant helps to support them.

A beautiful garden is also a garden full of life. 💛

🥔 From one little seed potato… to some incredible harvests! 🌱

A huge thank you to everyone who sent us photos from our February Half Term Potato Growing Workshop. We’ve absolutely loved seeing your potato hauls and watching how your crops have grown over the last few months! 💚

We asked you to let us know how many potatoes you harvested, and we were blown away by some of the fantastic counts! 🥔👏

🎉 Congratulations to the grower with the biggest haul! We’ve contacted you directly, and a little prize is winging its way to you. 🎁

Thank you to everyone who took part. Seeing your photos and hearing about your harvests is one of our favourite parts of running these workshops. We hope you’ve enjoyed growing your potatoes as much as we enjoyed helping you get started!

Keep an eye on our page for more family workshops and seasonal activities coming soon. 🌿💚

🔥 New in the café… S’more Cookies! 🔥

Two deliciously crunchy cookies, filled with rich chocolate and fluffy mini marshmallows… everything you love about a campfire s’more, without needing the campfire! 🤎🍪

Perfect with a hot chocolate, coffee, or as an afternoon treat while you wander the garden centre.

Be warned… they’re messy, gooey, chocolatey, and absolutely worth it! 😍

📍 Available now in the Treehouse Café at Garthowen

We think Duster may have finally let us in on her secret… 🤍🐾

She might have a favourite chair (and yes, she did make us work around her while we moved everything! 😂), but we don’t think it’s really about the chair at all.

As long as she’s close to her favourite people, she’s happy. Even if we do occasionally decide to move her favourite seat! 😹

If you’ve visited Garthowen, chances are you’ve been greeted by our little supervisor at some point. She certainly keeps us all in line… when she’s not busy napping, of course! 💚
