Easter Sunday Closure

Dear All,

Unfortunately we are having to close for Easter Sunday due to Easter Sunday Trading laws.  Traditionally Lime Cross has always opened as we are predominately a plant nursery not a garden centre.  However it has come to our attention that we could fall under this law and as a business we wish to comply.  We apologise to any of our customers who were hoping to come out this Sunday. 

We wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Hello everyone,

To celebrate gloomy January and February we are encouraging our visitors to ‘seek out the beauty’ at Lime Cross Nursery. This competition won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as it involves a little bit of technology! But for those of you who are fans of Instagram, we would love you to get involved. Take a photo using Instgram and submit it to win fabulous lunch for two at the Lime Cross Nursery Café, including drinks and cake!

About Instagram:

‘Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take a picture, apply a digital filter to it, and share it on a variety of social networking services, including its own and other leading sites such as Facebook or Twitter. A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras’. (www.wikepedia.com)

How to enter:

• Take a photo here at Lime Cross Nursery using Instagram any time from now until the end of February.

• Post the photo under #LCNCOMP on our Instagram feed.

• We will then print out the photo and display it on our photo board .
