We have a beautiful, independent garden centre close to us called ‘Wm Wheat & Son’. The old Mr Wheat still works there, and still produces hundreds of gorgeous hanging baskets. The garden centre is built around a historic pool (Bourne Pool) and also has a lovely cafe on the poolside. I needed to buy a houseplant today for our neighbours, so I took some time to wander around the pool (following the Fairy Trail). There were quite a few bird babies around, which was so lovely.
So wonderful to have an independent garden centre in this day and age, with the owner still working at his establishment! So lovely to see this little family happily swimming in the lake!
