Have we really seen the last of the snow?

Happily since we last wrote the weather in the Conwy Valley seems to have significantly improved and threats of late frost subsided. It was only a few weeks back that local gardeners were telling us that they were very afraid to plant for fear of destroying their new additions. Fingers crossed those days have finally gone. It will be a winter we won't easily forget! (STOP PRESS - Oh no, today's Daily Mail is reporting more snow for this weekend).

With every passing day we introduce new stock into the nursery and as well as a fantastic range of plants, the garden nursery shop provides a pleasing range of Welsh country made chutnies, jams and preserves. You may have also read recently that it's currently all rage to grow your own potato varieties and we have a fantastic range of seed potatos to help you get started. Starting a growing patch is great fun and a good way to get the kids interested in gardening (that's if you can prise the Playstations and Gameboys out of their hands). We've included a link to the new stock on this page.
Before we go can I remind you about a special event The Rowen Gardens Open Day which is happening further down the Conwy Valley on Sunday 9th May. About 15 lovely gardens are open for one day only! It happens once every two years so make sure you take the opportunity to visit this beautiful village. The event runs from 10.30am - 5pm. Admission is adult £5, children £1. All proceeds are in aid of Rowen Memorial Hall and if you'd like to find out more you can call 01492 650851.
