Our railway sleeper yard is closed on Saturday 22nd June. Something to do with a staff wedding, or the Euros, or watching tennis or was it Ascot...? Clearly no commitment to work!

Shouldn't we know about this? An operating table? Extra beds in hospital corridors? Are things really that bad in the NHS? Actually, it turns out that an ex-ambulance is a perfect vehicle for a joiner collecting timber!

You name it! Driveways... Garden edging... Raised beds... Gate posts... Benches... Railway sleepers are so flexible in terms of usage and Ashraf has proved this again and again.

Now that's not something you see every day! In fact it's a really big deal. Takohe birds were considered extinct for 100 years and are now being returned to the wild in New Zealand's South Island. This railway sleeper edged monument celebrates this massive conservation victory.

It's surprising how fast freshly cut oak railway sleepers change from golden yellow to bleached silvery grey. It's one of those unavoidable facts of life that outside timber (AND HAIR!) eventually goes grey, unless you chose to colour it with wood stain. Unsure if hairdressers would approve, though. I knew there was a reason why I lost my hair!!

An incredibly special walled garden. Not only for the meandering paths that explore the endless patchwork of spectacular planting and vibrant borders, but even the empty railway sleeper beds that excitedly await herbs, vegetables, fruit & flowers! An overwhelming sense of peace & relaxation that flows throughout this volunteer run paradise.

Old whisky puncheons, planted with striking shrubs, brilliantly compliment this ancient Yorkshire market town. The tradition of making oak casks goes back thousands of years, and certainly well before the fortifications of Helmsley's ancient stone castle.

A Yorkshire oasis enabling you to breathe and relax as you explore the kitchen garden, with a sense of belonging rather than exclusion. A wonderful collection of plants fed by the rotating railway sleeper compost bays.
