OAKDALE BEES
Ken Gallagher and Elisabeth Barton-Grew became bee buddies and now run a thriving apiary surrounded by magnificent oak trees, wild meadows and natural hedgerows. The apiary provides a natural larder for their one million British Buckfast bees throughout the season.
The hives were originally established by Elisabeth in 2015 to fulfil a lifelong passion for nurturing and protecting nature's best loved pollinators, and help to do something to abate the alarming decline in the species and the environmental eco system they support.
Elisabeth & Ken regularly inspect the hives to ensure the bees are in good health.
'The girls' are very well behaved, polite and prolific. They forage on the abundant natural larder on Oakdale's doorstep but can fly up to three miles for particularly tasty treats. The natural forest larder includes foxgloves, borage, knapweed, clover, cornflowers, poppy’s, honeysuckle, brambles, horse chestnut tree pollen and acres of buttercups. They particularly enjoy a recently planted fruit orchard.
Lovely product, looks great outdoors for summer dining. Arrived really quickly
Love the placemats. They look gorgeous and do the job well. However the drinks coasters vary in size slightly and curl up at the edges. They are also not completely flat in the middle which means that putting a glass of wine on them is a bit problematic! Ok if you want to use them for heavier glasses/mugs etc
I ordered a couple of placemats for my table in the balcony. They arrived quickly and very well packed, and product itself is great quality.
This is my second purchase of the Paris ian perfume by Ampersand. Such a lovely summer scent, yo be recommended.
Was looking for some place mats and coasters for outdoor dining, found just what I was looking for on Greentulip, fast delivery and communication, items were well wrapped, very happy customer
