Andrew's Plants

Andrew’s Plants is a young plant nursery, growing and selling hand grown quality plants in the heart of Birmingham. We are a family business with community at the centre of our mission. We grow every plant that we sell ourselves and therefore enjoy passing on advice to customers regarding the eventual placement and usage of our products.

We trade at a variety of markets across the midlands. See the list below to find out where we will be on any given date! Our base is very much in Bearwood as we trade outside St Mary’s Church on the High Street opposite Argos every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 9 and 4.

Where you can find us?
-St Mary’s Church (Bearwood Road, B66 4BX) – every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
-Harborne Farmer’s Market – every second Saturday of the month
-Birmingham New Street Farmer’s Market – Every First and Third Wednesday of the month.

For up to date information please check our website. You can also follow us on Twitter and through our Facebook Page.

Bearwood Shuffle...The Second Coming

Yep, full marks if you got the Stone Roses reference in this post title because this Sunday we're chuffed to have none other than the legend that is Mr Aziz Ibrahim (Stones Roses guitarist) together with the equally legendary Mr Dalbir Singh Rattan (the guy who's on Paul Weller's speed dial when it comes to tip top tabla). Whoo and indeed hoo! But that's not all. Oh no it isn't...oh yes it is...oh no it isn't etc (soon be Christmas eh?) We've got a whole bunch of other great bands on offer too... Little Liam, The Nortons, Rudie and the Revolvers, The Sharp Darts, Mr Naylor, DJ Craig Anthony on the ones and twos...and possibly threes.

Incredibly the whole thing is free, free, FREE and we've even had a word about the weather. Yes, sunshine is guaranteed (probably) so all you have to do is pop along with a picnic (scotch eggs, cheesy nibbles, sausage rolls, maybe some hummus if you're a bit posh), a rug or chair (or sofa if you're feeling particularly energetic) and enjoy the show. Bargain. The fun kicks off at 2pm and winds up at 6-ish so you'll be home in time for Songs of Praise. Hurrah.

Warley Woods needs you!

Warley Woods has a chance of winning a national competition to find the “people’s choice” of parks – and your vote really counts.

There’s a real possibility that this fantastic 100 acres of park and woodland could be declared one of the best-loved green spaces in the country.

More than 1,000 people have already nominated the Woods for the Green Flag People’s Choice Award. We're told the Woods is doing really well in the voting nationally, and if you haven’t voted yet, you only have until Monday to do it.

Whether you love the woods for walking the dog, jogging, golf, snowy days off school or even early morning bootcamp workouts – please go to VOTE NOW. The deadline's MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER MIDDAY! It’s free and it only takes a few seconds.

You can vote for as many of the nine Green Flag sites in Sandwell as you like – including Sandwell Valley, Victoria Park in Smethwick and Barnford Park in Oldbury.

Remember voting closes at midday on Monday September 12th at midday and Keep Britain Tidy will announce a UK-wide Top 10 in a couple of weeks time. Gold, silver and bronze Green Flag Awards will go to the top three.

Every single vote will make a difference – so come on, get clicking.

Please share this with your friends on Facebook, Tweet it and ask your followers to give it a click and help put Warley Woods – and Sandwell – on the map!
