People flocked to Courtens Garden Centre the weekend of the February 14 not only to buy seed potatoes but also to see the marvellous demonstrations of wood turning by the Test Valley Wood Turners and Willow weaving by Tracy Standish.

Boxes were filled with the recycling requested for Naomi House which manages to raise over £100,000 a year for its efforts.

Many thanks to all who came to see us and joined the fun or came for a fish-and-chip lunch.

Courtens will continue to collect used postage stamps, printer cartridges and foreign coins during the year so pop in to see us with your recycling and stop for coffee and cakes and view the plants through the changing seasons.
