Want to see my Herb Gardens? xx

Hi everyone!

I've been having fun out in the garden.

After visiting the Kings Arms at Knowle I was inspired to make my own Herb Garden

they had an old tin bath outside the main entrance of the pub full of wonderful Herbs.

Here's a photo

When I got home I couldn't get this idea out of my head you know what it's like!

So I trawled the internet for a company that manufactured the Tin Baths.

I found Gates Railings Direct over in Stourbridge.

If you click on to their website you will find all information sizes and prices.

Zara was the Lady who organised the Baths for us, so helpful and friendly it was lovely to meet her.

Thank you!  I was chuffed to pieces when she told me they were going to use my photo.

I had fun buying the Herbs from the local Garden Centre.

The Gravel and compost was very heavy to carry but using

my Husband's trolley it was quite easy to take into the garden.

We put Gravel on the base of the Bath for drainage, used

multi-purpose compost and then white decorative Gravel on the top 

 I gave the Herbs  a good soaking before

planting.

The Large Bath measured 48"

the smaller one 36".

I'm really pleased with them.

                                                                 Why not have a go!

Thanks to you all......

Good afternoon,

On the 19th May Sunshine Blankets and Shawls were delivered to Lady Katherine Leveson Care Home at Knowle.  The Staff and Residents were extremely grateful to you all and I thought you would like to read a Thank you card that I received a few days ago.





Many thanks to you,
