The Hedgerow Year
In celebration of our hedgerows we are publishing a series of
illustrations from "The Hedgerow Year" which shows the wonderful
diversity of flowering shrubs, small trees and climbers which make
up Devon's hedgerows. Each month is recorded with detailed
watercolour illustrations and accompanying descriptions.
"This book will enhance your
knowledge and enjoyment of the countryside at any time of the year,
from deepest winter to mid summer"
A copy of the booklet can be purchased for £4.95 from Sandy who
has kindly agreed to donate all profits to the Sustainable Crediton
Tree Group.
