Heaton Street
This warm weather is certainly making our customers lawns look very dry! Does your lawn look like this? It is important to water your lawns as you would do with your garden plants to keep it in tip top condition for the summer.
We have been very lucky recently with the weather but as you know this causes other problems in the garden. Have you ever thought about having a water butt fitted by our teams to catch rainwater from your pipes? Why not give the team at Heaton Street a call for more information?
We love a clever idea in the garden and anything to save time on awkward tasks. Check out this clever watering can which can be wheeled around the garden and picked up without bending down. It looks like the design is based on the shape of an elephant’s trunk!
Crafty Uniforms
Craft Uniforms recently held a competition to win sports tops for a local community group, club, team or school. We are happy to announce that our winner is Karen, who nominated St Gregory’s Primary School! The team presented the school with their donation of sports tops as well as a voucher for a family in need to spend at Crafty Uniforms!
Thank you to everyone who entered the competition, we look forward to holding more in the future!
The team at Crafty Uniforms have a great selection of single buttons; 20 small for £1.00, 15 medium for £1.00 and 10 large for £1.00! They also have packs of buttons from 20p; pop in and see what you fancy.
