Our Feedback
Just to say thank you. The Heron protection electric fence is just great. Ordered Thursday, delivered Monday, finished installing on Wednesday, the pond was attacked Wednesday night I am not sure if it was a cat or heron but my prize fish is still cruising around. I knew the electric fence would work, as I thought I would improve the route to earth by adding an extra earth wire round the pond and back to the energizer, thinking it's not going to have much power I did not turn the mains off, the earth wire touched the live wires, and although I don’t have much hair, I believe what I have was styled into a punk hair do in an instant. Excellent piece of kit, along with excellent service and advice. (plus Hair styling optional extra for thick'os who don't respect electricity).
Thanks again

Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
This Product is Available Now.This is a most versatile ancient herb. A member of the carrot family, it is a very attractive plant in its own right, with handlike leaves and clusters of small white/green flowers which only appear in the second year (if not cut off the plant usually dies).
Young shoots can be added to salads, the stems and roots can be used as a vegetable, and the seeds can be used in pastries. The stems can also be peeled, cut into small slices, steamed and thereafter crystallised for cake decoration, sweet meats, and chopped and included in homemade ice cream and cakes!
The roots and stems smell strongly of gin; no surprise as this is one of the 'botanicals' used in the flavouring of gin and vermouths.
The crushed leaves are said to reduce travel sickness whilst a tea made from Angelica is purported to improve lost appetites. Additionally, if stewed and added to bath water Angelica is said to relieve rheumatism and aching muscles.
Also known as Garden Angelica, Holy Ghost, Wild Celery or Norwegian Angelica.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
