We are delighted to announce that the Grounds team are now successfully growing our own cut flowers at the Estate Services Centre Nursery, which are used for the fabulous\u00a0bouquets and\u00a0beautiful floral displays on campus.<\/p>\n

This initiative from our talented Nursery and Floristry staff means that we are reducing our carbon footprint, working within our sustainability practices and\u00a0reducing costs.<\/p>\n

We have received excellent positive feedback from our customers, who really embrace the unique personal\u00a0touch that the displays and bouquets now give as the flowers are\u00a0grown in-house on our estate.<\/p>\n

Photos below show the journey for this initiative; starting from the newly built raised bed right through to a\u00a0beautiful floral display created with our in-house grown cut flowers.<\/p>\n
