BjorgI like working with plants and to be outside, although I have been know for feeling a little cold in winter. So if you see someone out in the bedding area, with 10 jackets, hats and gloves on, don't be afraid, its only me! My role is looking after the bedding plants, perennials, herbs and roses. Planting up baskets and creating displays, are two of my favourites. I enjoy chatting to customers so please come and see me if your have any gardening questions.
