| Dear
Another mild spell. I must admit it's starting to feel like spring time, especially when the sun is out and you're in the greenhouses. Working in this business tends to make for a short winter as we are so busy now getting everything ready.
Our Victorian Hanging Basket and Planter workshops are starting to fill up. New time slots have been added to make sure we have enough room for everyone.
Have a look below to see which time would work best for you to attend the Victorian Basket and Planter Workshops. Our new and improved plans to make sure your baskets are as big as they can be by the beginning of May will ensure you have the WOW effect you are looking for. Please do me a favour and pass this email on to your friends to make sure they know about the workshops. We will not be advertising in the papers.
As we continue to improve our business for you, we have added a new "WEEKLY POLL" question to the upper left of this email. It's only one question. Please give us your quick answer to help us direct our business to the way that you, our customer will benefit from.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the workshops and if not then in the spring and as always we appreciate your business.
Take care, Rob Gemmell
