There’s a fun packed day planned in our village on Sun 2nd December.

Our friends annually create the New Street Christmas window in Broadbottom, an amazing display for the month of December in aid of The Christie.

This year the New Street Christmas window is all about Harry Potter and they’ve asked the village to join in with the Harry Potter excitement; leading up to the grand opening at the window that evening at 5:00pm.

From 10am until 3pm at Lymefield, we are hosting Hogwart’s Owlery!

We have invited Wise Owl Birds of Prey Rescue with their spectacular owls and a cauldron of potions to try!

Come and meet these amazing people and beautiful birds of prey. All of their work contributes to the bird of prey and owl rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing work that they do.

Enjoy the magical adventure as it unfolds and support this important cause.

For further information about the day please check out the New Street Christmas window website at www.hopetheatrecompany.com/christmas

One of our fields oflawn turf in Charlesworth, currently being prepared for next year's lawn turf. It's starting to get that winter feel again already after what has been an extremely dry summer. The nights are starting to draw in and there is a chill in the wind and yet at this time of year, there is so much which can be done in the garden!

A question which we are being frequently asked in store at the moment is 'Is it too late to sow grass seed?' or 'Is it too late to lay lawn turf?'.

Well at this moment in time, the answer is no it isn't too late. We are nearing the end of November now, but as long as there isn't a hard ground frost, the current conditions can really play in to the hands of those looking to lay a new lawn.

The lawn turfhere in Cheshire is as green as ever, so once lifted and delivered to your door, it is as healthy and as fresh as possible. The first two weeks are obviously key to the turf's establishment but with any severe cold weather and frosts (hopefully) at least a month or so away, any turf laid now would benefit from the wet weather and days which are still reasonably warm and be suitably rooted before the harsh weather arrives.

This will also save you the hassle of having to water it quite as regularly! Once down, the lawn turf will have time over the winter to bed in further and take root ready for it's first summer season next year, when you can be ready to start refining it in to that perfect bowling green, or preparing it for the demands of being the kids new back garden football pitch!

A key point to remember is that you can't really water freshly laidlawn turf enough. It is better to play it safe and water it often (even if there has been rainfall), than risk it drying out at all. If this happens, patches of the grass can die, but also the rolls can shrink as a whole, resulting in gaps between each piece which has been laid. As soon as we deliver yourLymefield Turf and its laid get watering! 

It is also not too late to sow seed, again as long as it is in good time before severe frost. Remember to sow the seed in a good quality top soil, and make sure that it receives enough water to get it germinated before the cold arrives.Turf,Top Soil, Grass Seed all delivered to your door!
