As I mentioned in my last post, I've been very lucky this past week. Not only did I win the lovely Kitchen Garden Herb Planter set which I've already blogged about, but I won this wonderful tool set. Forgive the photo, I took the set outside in the rain to take the photo. I don't think they'll be getting much use today.
I entered the giveaway on VP's Veg Plotting blog and I was lucky enough to have my name chosen as the winner by the random number generator.
My prize is this fantastic Draper fork, spade, mini trowel and fork set, which I have to say is a most welcome prize as Hubby managed somehow to break his spade last year and hasn't yet got round to buying a new one.
VP had teamed up with Gardens Galore, a family company, when she ran this competition, and I have to say that the experience I've had with dealing with them has been very good. I had a prompt, friendly email from Joel asking for my address so that they could deliver the tool set, and after I replied, the delivery was super quick.
Joel also mentioned in his email that they're working very hard on a 'sensory gardens' guide, and I particularly enjoyed reading about their previous sensory garden projects at Bridge of Earn Care Home and Braehill Lodge Nursing Home. Just click on the links if you'd like to read about these projects for yourself.
Thank you very much VP, it's a wonderful prize. I'm so lucky to have won.

It came just at the right time with Hubby's spade being broken and there being plenty of digging to get done.
DeleteWell done, that's a really useful prize especially the spade! Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous prize, I'm really pleased.

I'm really chuffed with it, just what we needed too.
DeleteCongrats on the win, looks a really good prize.
ReplyDeleteIt's smashing, I've been so lucky this week.
DeleteWell done they look great. I would definitely get the lottery done tonight, these things come in threes! Have a good weekend x
ReplyDeleteThe lottery ticket is here, I'm not holding my breath though, I never even win a tenner.
DeleteNice proze for you; very generous giveaway by VP! I hope you get the chance to try them out soon (probably for shovelling snow, I reckon!)
ReplyDeleteIt was a very generous giveaway. You might not be wrong about the snow, it's been sleeting here today.
DeleteCongratulations on winning the set of tools. Hope you enjoy using them soon when the weather is better!
ReplyDeleteSnow here too!
I don't think there's much chance of doing any digging for a while again, Hubby went to the plot today and it's flooded. I'm hoping for some dry weather again so I can try them out.
DeleteHi Jo - glad to hear the company was good to deal with from your side of things. I like the look of their sensory gardens too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosing the giveaway, I'm so pleased with my prize.
DeleteWhat a SMASHIN'prize!xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely prize, I can't believe my luck at the moment.
DeleteCongrats to you again Jo. Such a wonderful give-away. And thanks for the links...really enjoyed reading them.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe how lucky I've been recently, wonderful prizes.
