The Fuchsia Centre and tea

Les is the gardener
and always pleased to talk to visitors about fuchsias and help
them to make the right choice for their own garden.
Whether
you want an tender, indoor plant for your greenhouse or a
hardy type to survive in all weathers, there
are over 10,000 varieties of fuchsia to choose from although not quite
all of them are here at Houndwood!

Heather is the cook and

other goodies to go with freshly made teas or coffee and locally produced
honey is also or sale. |

Her daughter Helen has great
artistic talent and an eye for a charming variety of carefully
chosen gifts and curios.
They include garden tools &
decorations, accessories & greetings cards, candles,
toiletries, jewellery, glassware & china as well as a few
attractive hand knits and embroidered and felted items,
including her own 'Braw Bright Bootees' for babies!
