Hall & Randall at Clissold Gardens

2023-09-14T16:52:43+01:00

We had the pleasure of hosting volunteers from local plumbing company Hall & Randall at Clissold Gardens last month. Volunteers, David and Hadleigh, came down for the day to help with some much needed upkeep. In particular, they renovated our polytunnel using materials supplied by the company.  Hall & Randall have been our plumbing contractors for some years and it was great to welcome them into our gardens for the day. Everyone at Peter Bedford would like to offer them our thanks for their contribution and look forward to working with you for many years to come.
