Natures Haven wants to get as many plants into the ground as possible so they can establish over winter. A volunteer team from Centrica had built them some beautiful raised beds last week, so we filled these with ericaceous compost which will keep the acid-lovers happy. We then planted two blueberry bushes and a cranberry. We then planted a tayberry plant in the ground and gave it a supportive obelisk to climb up. Next summer should be fruitful!
