June Heatwave & Deliveries 2026

What a scorching week we’ve had here in beautiful Cornwall!

Its been absolutely baking with temperatures soaring and the garden has been lapping up the sunshine.

Fortunately the garden is very shaded and because its location is at the bottom of the valley we are very close to the water table and so our mature trees and plants have thrived.

Even the Japanese maples – which are not usually big fans of full sun – have coped very well with such high temperatures.

Not only has it been insanely hot but we also had a massive collection of deliveries arrive this week. I can tell you now humping and dumping boxes of wind chimes and statues is NOT what you want to be doing in this heatwave! LOL

The deliveries have included:

• A selection of hand carved Chinese jade statues – see pics below – they are amazing!
• Another Bonsai delivery – lots of new indoor and outdoor trees now available.
• Wind chimes – many lines that we’ve been waiting ages to get back in stock have finally arrived.
• New marble, white and granite effect statues – haven’t had these for years and they arrived this week.
• Huge amounts of lovely bits for the gift shop – ranging from Tea-infusion mugs, incense sets, tea-pots, and rice-bowls – to name but a few things.

Its been quite a crazy week with all the new stock arriving but the shop is now looking beautiful.

Ive been asked to pop up a separate post with the Chinese jade statues with prices – so I’ll get that up soon too.
