The Gluttonous Gardener germinated 14 years ago when Ned Trier (Founder & Director) a garden designer and expert plantsman was sat in a traffic jam in central London trying to think of something to do in the Winter months when his gardening work was quiet and came up with the pioneering idea to send plants through the post as gifts. Starting off with a few products he hand delivered them throughout London and from there the company has grown and grown and now sends thousands of beautiful crates throughout the country and into Europe. We wanted to create a range of gifts where you can send a lasting gift for the same price as you would pay for a decent bouquet of flowers.We have stayed true to Ned's original aim that all of our gifts should contain an element for instant delight coupled with a living, growing element that will bring years of pleasure. Each parcel is lovingly hand packed at our warehouse in Battersea and sent by overnight courier to ensure that it arrives looking as lovely as it did when it left us. We cultivate many of the plants ourselves in our nursery in Newbury to ensure our high standards. Now run by Sally Golland and Ned Trier our aim is to provide our customers with the most beautiful and unforgettable gifts as well as corporate gifts.

Learn to speak Spanish - evening classes in London - Professional Language Solutions

I went to Spain earlier this year and was inspired to come back and make an effort to learn the language so that when I next go back I will be able to speak the language.

I set about searching for a language school and found Professional language solutions which are a language school, I wanted to learn to speak Spanish in London. They offer enving classes and so I signed up to their 10 week course to learn to speak spanish.

The course was fantastic I chose to go to their Farringdon office they have another language school in Canary wharf. As a beginner I have been able to learn the basics that will enable me to get by the next time I go to spain - I would thoroughly recommend them as a language school the teacher was fantastic and there was only 5 of us in the class.

Take a look at their site Take a look at language evening courses.
