I had customers queuing to pay me money, at 10.00-12.00 2 hours I had £300 in my cash bag, there was a mad rush to buy. My daughter aged 19 was also helping me on the day had £10, 20 notes waiting for me to give her change from the customers she served. The Tree Folk man also dumped a wad of cash for me to put way.

It was a great day, the customers were friendly, polite and pleasant, My family also came out, the property steward who opened the doors, was shocked at the number of people who arrived, and just stood watching, smoking his pipe in amazement.
I have had requests for herbs, tomatoes, and bedding plants, Hanging baskets, and at the same time promoted the next plant sales in 2 weeks times at the local town.
