The jewel in the London Stone crown – The Surrey Showroom

That’s what the Surrey Garden Design Group discovered last week when they visited our new Surrey Showroom at Farnham. The Surrey Garden Design Group is a well-established society that’s been active over twenty-five years. It’s open to everyone who’s interested in garden design but garners most of its membership from professional garden designers and contractors. They offer very interesting talks and visits to their members and we were honoured to welcome them earlier this month on their first outing to see us. read more

Sawn six sides, as are Mirage and Light Grey, its fine grain has a luxurious feel underfoot. read more

In the UK and Europe, we take for granted how good our education system is. We expect that when our children attend school there will be teachers present to teach them. The situation is very different in Budhpura, India.Before we go any further, a re-cap about the project we are working on to create child labour free zones in Budhpura. read more
