Garden centre - Saltaire - August 2010

Visited with Kook.

According to google this place is still open - perhaps as a pick your own blackberry site lol.

All but buildings were secured tight, but we did fint a 'metro' newspaper from 17th of August.

random little find!

Lol at the blackberries. Tis that time of the year for apple & blackberry pies...yum.
Looks like someone's doing some growing there with the young plants in the grow bags.
Nice find guys.

Nice work you two, Who's using the grow bags for growing plants? is there anyone living there or working there?

I thought that but I am no expert lol

A new method of stopping theft!



Thanks for these Nij.

What fascinated me was this picture - seems a long term method of preventing tree theft

I assume the fence was so tight at one time that the tree was forced to "absorb" it in order to continue growing?

This looks like a sycamore to me and these do tend to grow in all sorts of strange placed. Plus they exert tremendous forces - we had one next door to us which managed to dislodge our adjoining brick wall from its foundations.
