As an avid gardener, you will no doubt be keen to ensure that you continue to challenge yourself in your horticultural pursuits. It is important to set new goals and try new things in order to prevent yourself from getting into a rut.

Well, Christmas is all over, and we’re now knee deep in a brand new year that can bring excitement, adventure, and quite possibly the oncoming apocalypse (although that’s certainly a judgment call).

Far less final than having a stone model made, you’ll still be able to keep the things you need safe, but will be able to get rid of the garage afterwards should you move. Oh, and you probably won’t need planning permission, which can be a bugger to get hold of. (more...)
