However here are a couple of pics of Ilex van tol at the Hamlet today. Horsfields Nursery sell bunches of berried holly for flower arrangements and decorating the home, all fresh from our hedgerows at the back of the Hamlet and our wood.

Hyacinth














>
The hyacinth was so popular in the 18th century that more than 2,000 cultivars of H. orientalis were developed, producing plants with large, fragrant flower spikes in shades of red, blue, white, pink and yellow. All hyacinths found in the modern garden are a result of this process.
We are now making up many hyacinth bowls and arrangements for Chrismas presents. Both Specially-treated, winter-flowering bulbs and outdoor ones in pots. After flowering, the forced bulbs can be planted outdoors in a sheltered spot.

Interesting Transport







Customers come on many different modes of transport to Pot House Hamlet! These apple trees from Horsfields Nursery certainly felt some fresh air on the way home.
