"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder .
Fear of the unknown perhaps ?
Must admit though the unfortunate label of slow worm does them no favours . "

Billybop replied to Richard Farley's discussion Nature Loving Customers !!!

"to be fair, if they were unaware of what Slow Worms are, from the name alone, they might sound like a pest, like some outdoor type of tape worm"

Nature Loving Customers !!!

Had a brief chat with a once a year customer , where I just cut his knee length grass down . I happened to mention the abundance of wildlife in his garden , and that last year I saw some slow worms basking in the sun.He looked at me and replied " Oh…

Billybop replied to Brian's Garden Maintenance's discussion Clients contracts for wet Grass cutting

"hi Brian, the charge would essentially be doubled. Tripled even. Or something close to that. Depending on when I would be available to return. Especially on the big gardens which are not easy to reschedule. So there is no incentive for the customer…"

Hello Kerri......I bought some material from the company in Alford many years ago just after it opened. I have just found LJN and I'm glad to see Bamboo is still up there in the chilly north !
Kirsty Blair March 2, 2010 at 10:53pm

Small world eh! Is Blair your married name? If so what's your maiden name / sisters name?
Kirsty Blair March 2, 2010 at 9:53pm

Just had a look at your website to see where your based - I grew up in Fyvie and went to Turriff Academy. I think Chris went to school with my sister! Weird!

Hi Sam,
No, the guy there retired and moved away about 4 years ago and just seemed to wind up the business. We started out here approx 3 years ago (approx 30 miles away). We have been trading mail order only up until recently and now we are hoping to supply the landscaping / garden design trade. We are still not 'open to the public' as such, but are happy for folk to come by appointment. Did you used to buy from Alford?
Sam McGowan March 2, 2010 at 2:22pm

Have you taken over the bamboo nursery near Alford?
Kerri Dall March 2, 2010 at 10:21am

Hi Kirsty, we are not they same company. You're right, the other bamboo company disappeared approx 4 years ago (I think the owner retired and just wound up the business). We have been around for approx 3 years now and going from strength to strength (Mainly in the retail mail order market up untl now but now looking at working with more landscapers and designers). We grow a lot of our own stock but this takes time so we do buy some also to offer a wide range of varieties, also we don't yet have our own large size stock i.e. 30L +. Get in touch and we'll be happy to offer what we can / quote for any projects you have etc.

Thanks, Kerri

Hi Kerri

I looked at using you a few yrs ago - take it you have recently bought it over or new management??? It seemed to disappear for a few yrs. I tend to use bamboo quite a lot - do you buy in or grow? Scottish grown is a big plus for me so interested to hear.

Thanks
kirsty
