We came across these newish treated pine sleepers from TrustWood Timbers. These sleepless are great for your vege planters and general planting as the treatment used is safe for all plants and does not leach into the soil. Unlike Mac sleepers they come with a 50 year guarantee so they will outlast the more traditional Mac sleepers. Very straight and diamentionaly correct so great to work with.
We have just completed this job in Parnell using these where we have swapped out the rotten Mac sleepers for new TrustWood Sleepers 👍
Come along from 10am - 2pm to take a tour around our new resort-style facilities and range of homes available.

The heritage gardens at Highwic offer a vivid tapestry of seasonal colour as inspiration – from the formality of its sweeping lawns to the intimacy of its flower beds and orchard.
The class will take place in the atmospheric Billiard House, and in the gardens. Each session blends artistic technique with mindful observations, linking the botanical past and present through creative practice.
The six-week course covers:
• Nature journaling and observational techniques
• Successful drawing strategy
• Smarter colour mixing
• Mastering watercolour techniques
• Creativity and finding your artistic confidence
To see more of Jennifers work see her Instagram page www.instagram.com...
Students will supply their own materials (a list of what is required will be supplied before the class starts).
Places are limited and bookings essential.
