July Plant Hero

Nature

Geranium macrorrhizum “Ingwesren’s Variety”. is our naturalistic planting hero for this month. These low maintenance, all-rounder plants are incredibly tough despite their lovely gentle appearance. They help prevent weed growth and flower in soft pink for half the year.

Sweet Chestnut Wood

Craft

Our material Hero this month is Sweet Chestnut. We like to source our materials locally wherever we can and thanks to hundreds of acres of Coppice Woodland in Kent and Sussex, Sweet Chestnut has become oneof our favourite sustainable materials available locally.
