Day 235 - Daisy

Not my usual subject to photograph but today I spent the day out at Staveley Hall Garden Centre. I was asked to spend some time with my friend Jayne teaching her how to use her camera. She has recently set up her own business with her partner which is running from Staveley Hall. She wanted to learn how to use her camera so she can take photos for their website and start to build up a portfolio of the plants that they have to sell.
The garden centre is based at an English Heritage Site and is steeped in a lot of history. Jayne and her partner are keen to preserve the history of the area and develop a great little garden centre. I really enjoyed learning about the area and it was amazing looking round the garden centre and listening to all their plans to develop their business. They have a lot of work to do but it will be amazing when it's done.
If you live in the Sheffield/Chesterfield/Worksop area it's well worth a visit, the more support they get the better it will be. If you're looking for new plants for your garden or a real Christmas tree then Staveley is the place to go!
