Includes a range of shrubs, herbaceous plants, kitchen garden plants and two free-standing plastic compost bins.

THANK YOU.
Our first visit to Parwich. We came with Notts DA, and found you all welcoming and friendly. You put a lot of hard work into Wakes week, and we very much appreciate your efforts, even the weather didn’t dampen your enthusiasm.
So thank you very much. Hope to see you next year.
Selwyn Williams, Lily and Tilly the dog.
