🌿Hello everyone,

We welcome members and non members into the shop.

To be honest, it might be worthwhile becoming a member which costs £4.00 a year and covers 10% off all purchases in the shop compared to non members. Savings will soon add up. 🙂

There is no pressure of course to become a member. Everyone is welcome whether you have an allotment or not.
