For the stories themselves, think Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit stories with mice and without the sometimes surprising lapses into violence that forcibly remind you that Potter wrote in a different cultural context. The trail is wheelchair and buggy friendly and open every day (except Christmas Day and Boxing Day). An electric hedge trimmer will have the power to go straight through hedges but I believe it would maybe get stuck in anything tougher. Stihl and Husqvarna make the best and most powerful I find and have a long service life as my Stihl lawn trimmer is 18 years old and runs like new.

The stories are lovely, too, centred around kindness and community spirit but also well-plotted, with memorable characters and a warm humour.From Brambly Hedge Winter Story, this fine quality giclée print features is a reproduction of the original illustration from our archives. It is very shade tolerant and thrives on poor soils, although it needs some sun to bear a decent crop of fruit. For blackberries grown for their fruit, browse our range of garden blackberry plants - the vigorous long caned varieties are also suitable for mixing into a hedge.

The series premiere was first broadcast in UK on Christmas Day 1996 on the Children's BBC block on BBC1, and it made its US debut on the Starz pay-cable network the following year. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook).The High Hills Mr Apple has to go to the High Hills to visit some of the isolated mice in need of supplies. It can be placed on grass, pavement, dirt, beach, boardwalk, pier, edge of boardwalk, or edge of pier. Although the gallery of illustrations from the Brambly Hedge site does not include a dissected tree or the secret room, they do provide a fairly good idea of the quality of the illustrations in this book. The watercolour illustrations are up to the level of Beatrix Potter, extremely detailed, and as a kid, I remember trying to discover every teeny tiny detail in every picture.
