ABOUT US

Having spent many years in the world of Corporate business it was time to follow my dreams and start my own business.  Over the past few years 'The Potting Shed Ladies' have been brought together through a shared passion for gardens, plants, animals, the love of nature and the outdoors. 

We are a team of mature ladies based in Foolow, a delightful old village (with a great pub, small church and a duck pond) in the Derbyshire Dales.

We offer a range of gardening services including design, plant sourcing/growing, planting and maintenance in the local area. We run events and pop-up shops periodically that are inspired by each season's foliage and the plants that are available at that moment.  We love making wreaths and table decorations at Christmas/Easter; Hanging baskets and container planting in the Summer and Winter (see "Garden Services").  

We work together on many garden schemes all year round, and always have a range of four-legged 'snoopervisors' who keep their eyes on us, in particularly my chocolate labrador Ruby, who has 'worked' in many client gardens!  Amongst other things, we also share a love of cakes, and are regularly offered tea, cakes and biscuits by our clients.  This has become a talking point for our Facebook followers who are keen to know what the 'cake of the month' is.  We will keep you updated on both the snoopervisors, and also share our favourite cakes (and recipe) each month. 

The time has come to share with you some other talented people that I have had the pleasure to meet over the years, and share some of the gorgeous products they have designed and created.  The initial collection is connected through the use of natural materials - wood, iron, glass, fibre and of course plants.  

I have always loved and appreciated unusual and hand crafted gifts, that are unique and quirky.  I hope you like this first selection.  There are more to come throughout the year, along with some of our favourite plants, bulbs, corms and tubers.
