Lincolnshire’s freshest restaurant, The Redwood, was launched this week on site at Crowders Garden Centre on Lincoln Road, Horncastle. Waltzing his way to cha-cha-charming food, wine and company on Monday evening was popular McFly band mate and Strictly Come Dancing champion Harry Judd (pictured with Robert and Cora Crowder).
Featuring seasonal, local, freshly prepared food on the menu, The Redwood was sure to impress its guests after only a week of service. “It’s been a great night here at The Redwood” said Harry, “The food and the atmosphere have been great, and I’m sure I’ll be back again soon!” he added. The restaurant has had an extremely successful first week of lunch time service. Mr Robert Crowder commented on how “the superb staff, food and wine in these wonderful surroundings have really shown our level of achievement. I’m very proud of The Redwood. We’re now looking forward to opening 3 evenings per week starting from Thursday 5th April.”

An exciting new venture has branched its way into Horncastle, thanks to W Crowder & Sons Ltd! A brand new restaurant, The Redwood, is located on site at the well-established Garden Centre and Coffee Shop on Lincoln Road.
“We are so excited about the launch of The Redwood here at Crowders. Offering people a place to eat which is both accessible and affordable, and of excellent quality is something we have wanted to do for quite some time.” said Mr Robert Crowder. “Our grounds here have made the perfect setting for sitting down for a bite to eat during the afternoon or evening, overlooking our impressive 100 year old redwood tree.”
The restaurant is open 7 days a week for lunch from Wednesday 28th March and during Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from Thursday 5th April.

The Crowders team and a few guests recently met up at Doncaster Race Course to enjoy a little dabble on the horses and live music in the evening from McFly.
The race day brought together staff and families from the different parts of the company and allowed us to get together in a relaxing and fun atmosphere.
Some of the younger guests even got to meet McFly in person backstage thanks to Ben Crowder who is a old school friend of Harry Judd, the drummer from McFly.

Our very own Nursery here at Horncastle, Lincolnshire has recently supplied the Olympic Park with £150,000 worth of trees and shrubs after beating off heavy competition. Crowders Nurseries has often been successful in supplying and winning large contracts such as the planting for the channel tunnel rail link many years ago which was worth a cool £1 million.
Crowders Olympic Bid
Competition for the Olympic Park scheme came from 3 heavy weight English nurseries so success helps to bolster Crowders Nurseries standing in the sector. The bidding started 4 years ago and has finally come to fruition.
Following the London 2012 Games, the Olympic Park is set to become the biggest public park in Europe and the planting contract for the legacy phase has yet to be awarded and is expected to be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The Managing Director of Crowders, Simon Ellis, said: “It’s great to have been a part of the Olympics and the work has been very important for the company going forward.”
“These big deals are not very common. It really has been a bumper year which has provided us with security following the recession.”
“We really suffered during the recession. But recently, as a result of good business, we have been able to create several jobs, including some apprenticeships.”

A breath of fresh air in the heart of London! The Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden shows how easily it is to create a living tranquil retreat in the most unlikely of space. Only a few minutes’ walk from the London eye the roof garden flourishes with fruit, vegetables and wild flowers. The wildflower meadow in the centre of the garden contains over 100 species of native plants and grasses which attracts butterflies and insects.
Wildflower Meadow
The roof garden features a lush lawn with seating area overlooking the river Thames, a café with outdoor seating serving drinks and light bites. The main attraction for me was the inclusion of a patchwork vegetable garden containing large wooden raised beds with runner beans, courgettes, many salad crops and loads more! The eclectic mix shows just what can be achieved in the most unlikely of places.
