Beginning of April 2014 saw the completion of the new glasshouse at Sandylands Nurseries. A CHP unit, new engine and LED inter-lighting to aid winter production has been put in. Laura & Fliss have finally relocated office to the first floor in the new glasshouse area!
Fladbury Primary School visited 23rd September 2011. It was great to show such a well behaved and interested group around.
Second league cup this year won by Side Shoots FC.
Fliss joined in Spring 2010 to aid the Accounts Section and help with Staff Welfare, Induction, Training and Liaison.
