Our new Emergency Committee will meet for the first time next week to discuss measures that need to be put in place to enable garden waste collections to re-start in the district.
Green waste collections have been suspended during the lockdown to enable household waste and recycling collections to be prioritised due to the council’s waste and recycling contractor being impacted by coronavirus-related staffing issues.
Staff resources have been stretched not only by coronavirus shielding and self-isolation, but by social distancing requirements that mean bin crews are having to travel to locations in separate vehicles.
A report to next Thursday’s Emergency Committee – to be published on Monday – is likely to state that garden waste collections can only restart if the council is prepared to contribute towards the cost of additional agency staff.
The meeting will be broadcast live on the District Council’s YouTube channel.

Open Gardens Cancelled
Posted in Events, Gardens on Friday March 27, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Owing to current restrictions on gatherings and non-essential activities, and most importantly in the interest of everyone’s health and well-being, the PDHS has decided not to hold Open Gardens this year.
We are hopeful though and will continue to plan for the future. It may be that we hold a smaller event in the autumn and we will keep you updated. Feel free to join our group on Facebook so you can keep in touch with fellow gardeners and share photos of your activities as we are sure lots of you are enjoying the sun and spending time tending the first spring blooms.
Until then, keep safe and virus-free and thank you so much to everyone who has participated in the past.
On behalf of the PDHS Committee.

Leatherbritches Nursery

Bill will finally throw in the trowel at Leatherbritches garden nursery next week, on Thursday 31st October…..
There are still some bits and bobs left – such as plants, pots, containers etc. and you won’t get a better deal anywhere else!
Ann and Bill would like to say a huge thanks to all their customers and everyone that has dealt with them over the last 20 years…..
Likewise, I am sure many of you would join me in saying a big thank you to Ann and Bill for providing such a lovely, local and friendly source of plants, pots, advice, ideas, Christmas trees as well as tea, coffee and biscuits….! My garden for one would not be the same without you both…..

Leatherbritches Sale

Plant sale continues
Posted in Classified adverts, Flora, Gardens on Tuesday July 9, 2019| Leave a Comment »
There are lots of plants for sale at Church Farm in Creamery Lane. Some are on the verge at the house gable, but also lots are along the back of the house. There are kitchen garden plants, wild flowers, herbaceous plants, climbers and shrubs. I have potted on tomato plants left over from Open Gardens so they just need to be put in a sunny spot and watered.
If no one is about just put what you think is a fair price in the tin under the pallet. Unfortunately sales have been much slower than last year, we have so far just raised £18.50 to be split between the Carnival & Rec Committee and the Horticulture Soc. (This time last year we had raised some £160. It may be people are not noticing the plants behind the house.)
Money from further sales will go to support the Parish Council garden off Pump Hill. Everything must go.
