Any business such as this builds up and relies upon a certain number of associated suppliers and hirers. Most but by no means all of the people we use for supply of materials, plants and hired items have been known to me for some years. These good relationships mean that we can usually get most of what we need fairly quickly; for example if I need to hire a machine at very short notice I can usually get one the same or next day without any paperwork complications such as deposits.

As a horticulturalist, former farmer and general countryside enthusiast, I enjoy sites which are dedicated to the promotion of the benefits of rural life and the enjoyment one can gain from an understanding of plants and nature. I also personally spend a certain amound of time in the study of plants, for which the internet is a fascinating and comprehensive resource.
