All St Bridget's roses are grown on our own nursery in Exeter.

Here is a feature from our Clyst St Mary Garden Centre's Salvage Garden.

It's a water feature made from a bin lid and bike mud guard!

Rainwater collects in the bin lid and when it reaches a certain level it overflows down the mud guard into a lower pond (large bucket). Have a go yourself when you visit - we've left a watering can out so you can pour water.

See our earlier post to find out more about the project.
