A popular houseplant with origins in Madagascar and other Indian ocean islands, Dracaena gets its name from the red, gum-like resin within the stems that reminded people of 'Dragon's Blood'.
Not only giving a wow factor as a specimen, it also helps purify the air in your home by removing benzene, formaldehyde, xylene and toluene.
Thriving best in bright, indirect light, Dracaenas are ideal for kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms. Easy to care for, they tolerate irregular watering rhythms and dry soil much better than too much water, which can make their roots rot.

With some summer showers now due, it's a good time to think about water harvesting 💧💦

First time I have been to your centre today. We waited and waited for someone to take our order but your staff were all too busy having a chat to take our order for us. My partner even put his hand up twice to try to get someone's attention and asked if they could please take our order. One lady did say yes, walked off and didn't come back. Needless to say we left. Not a good first impression.
Nothing tastes better than something you've grown yourself! 😊🍏🍓🍇🍴

Does this include afternoon tea? Would we need to book?
Do we need to book a table for breakfast? Or is it just turn up? Thanks

Imagine sitting back on Christmas Day with a glass of your favourite drink and a belly full of homegrown roast potatoes, savouring the fruits of your family labour!
Put simply, winter seed potatoes have been prepared so that they are ready to start their 12 week plant-to-harvest cycle from August. This means that when they've been planted into a frost free greenhouse, cool conservatory or bright porch, they can produce your ‘roasties’ for Christmas Day!
The following link gives you more details on varieties to grow at this time of year and give some helpful advice and tips on getting started on this super easy crop.
