“Rather than having a fixed plan, we let the nursery evolve, feeling our way as to how best to balance the plants with the beautiful pieces we wanted to sell.”
The childrenwere delighted at the idea of ‘moving to the country’. The nursery owners, Bob and Annette Collett, werevery indulgent with them, turning a blind eyeas the kids used the bags of soilandcompost as trampolines and crash mats. Bob wasa fantastic vegetablegrowerandour son Harry stuck to him like glue, learning how to plant seedsand how to water,and helping out with propagation.
