GARDENING

year we help a charity connected with children. This year it’s a
children’s hospice, Naomi House in Winchester. At any time
they might have up to 15 Island children with them. It needs to
be a charity connected with kids, as that is what Christmas is all
about. This year we have more stock than ever - we can decorate
the dinner table, inside, outside … we have really gone wild this
year!
”We have tried to cover everyone’s tastes by sourcing the stock
from around Europe, mainly Germany as the quality of German
goods is far superior to that of goods from the Far East. Children
love coming here because it’s like a dream for them. We have
invested in a real life Father Christmas this year who tells
Christmas stories – it’s a real crowd puller. This year we have
themed the displays, on famous pantomimes like Cinderella”.
”You must come and see the displays, we are open Monday to
Saturday 8.00 to 5.30pm and Sundays 11am to 5pm”.
