The Handy Mag has been published for over 14 years by our small, family-run, independent publishing company based in the centre of Malton.

We live in the area, we work in the area and we support our local businesses directly by buying local wherever possible.

I have always believed that the Handy Mag is good for business and we are passionate about supporting our local independent businesses both in print magazines and online. The Handy Mag is full of the best that our area has to offer and each issue is read by thousands of people across Ryedale, York and beyond.

This month our focus is on Pickering with its railway, medieval castle, a range of fantastic independent businesses, great food and drink, two industrial estates and all the local services you might need. October sees Pickering turning back to the 1940s in the Wartime Weekend which is run by the North York Moors Railway but with events all over town it is always worth a visit.

We have a full to bursting events section for you but if you want to find out more about what’s

HAVE YOUR IHT CAKE - AND EAT IT!

I

By Julie Wilson, Chartered Financial Planner at PenLife Associates

nheritance Tax has been around for centuries. So why do people know so little about it?

Let’s say your estate is liable for Inheritance Tax. If no action is taken, your allowance is £325,000, all of which can be passed down tax-free. But the excess? Completely different ball park. 40% of everything above the threshold will go down the drain (well, straight to the tax man…).

But you can do something about it – and the government don’t only approve it, they encourage it!

“Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.

Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”

- Learned Hand If this wasn’t bad enough, there’s also almost a 25% chance your estate will also be investigated

by HMRC. A recent Freedom of Information (FOI) request found

that over 5,000 Inheritance Tax investigations are opened every year.

The request found that the growth of these investigations (7.8%) sprouted from the introduction of the Residence Nil Rate Band back in April 2017.

Here’s the breakdown of the IHT investigations over the years: • 2016/17- 5,138 • 2017/18- 5,354 • 2018/19- 5,537 Politicians have wanted to prove they are cracking down on those who may be trying to avoid tax, with HMRC’s resources now seemingly being lent to help investigate IHT cases.

The ever-growing complications surrounding Inheritance Tax means that the need to seek financial advice is now higher than ever. And it’s forever becoming more crucial.

The good news is that there are several, legal solutions which can help normal people face a less drastic impact or help avoid the

tax completely in some cases. At the very least seeking professional advice softens the blow for the family members who are left with probate to handle.

Essentially it means actively moving things out of your estate, without diminishing the control you have over your own money.

We call them ‘have your cake and eat it’ solutions for this reason.

Getting a professional opinion can help mitigate chances of an investigation, help you avoid common pitfalls and reduce some of the risks involved in DIY Financial Planning.

Come along to our FREE seminar at Novotel York, where one of our Inheritance Tax specialists will talk about the must-knows, things you need to consider but predominantly - the importance of acting sooner rather than later.

If you’re still not convinced – we will also be giving you a free cake to take home with you … How appropriate!

Janine Buckley’s research into this under-explored subject brings to light how these equestrian buildings were used and experienced by their patrons, their staff and by the horses housed in them.

aking changes or ‘doing up’ a property is a big and expensive decision. It may be simple decorating or undertaking more complex renovations or extensions but it is important to research if any changes you are planning fall within permitted development or require a full planning application to be submitted.

Most local planning departments offer an advisory service to help decide if planning is required, or whether building control must be involved. Other issues which may affect what you can do include listed building status, party walls, shared access or other covenants on your property.

Once you know works can proceed it is important to entrust the project to capable and competent contractors and designers. All building works, including decorating, repairs, renovations, refurbishments and construction are regulated by the Construction Design & Management Regulations 2015 (CDM). These regulations apply to both domestic and commercial properties.

Where you are carrying out the works on your own home for non-commercial reasons then the responsibility for implementing these regulations falls entirely on the Contractor you appoint. If the works are being carried out for a business purpose i.e. at a place of work, for a rental or holiday let or the property is being sold on for commercial gain (property development) then the client has legal responsibilities under the regulations and can be prosecuted for failing to meet them. It is important that any person appointing a contractor understands whether they are a commercial or domestic client under CDM regulations and must ensure that the contractor is capable and competent to carry out the works and has a full understanding on what is required of them. If you are planning any works speak to your architect, building surveyor or builder and ask them about how CDM will apply to the job.

If you have any doubt then take some professional advice then C2 Safety can provide straightforward clarification of CDM regulations and is able to help all parties to be compliant at every level. We can act as Principal Designer, provide bespoke Construction Phase Health & Safety Plans for Principal Contractors and provide RAMS and site inspections for all types of contractors on all manner of projects.

LOCAL OPTICIANS LEADS THE WAY WITH REVOLUTIONARY EYE TECHNOLOGY It’s also a groundbreaking tool used to enhance retinal screening for diabetics and macular degeneration as it’s able to catch the earliest signs of change.

Louise Knock explains “It gives us so much more information, enabling me to do my job even better and more accurately”.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

With this new technology, Specsavers in Malton offer the whole package when it comes to looking after the health of your eyes.

S eyes.

pecsavers in Malton has recently invested in brand new scanning technology, revolutionising the way they look after your

Josie Matthews, the Dispensing Director at Specsavers in Malton, says, “We use state-of-the-art technology, so customers can rest assured they will be getting the best help possible.”

“SO MUCH BETTER, AND SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE”

A standard retinal photograph provides optometrists with a view of the surface of your retina, but with Specsavers’ new Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine, they’re able to scan through all the layers, giving an even clearer, more detailed overall picture.

Louise Knock explains “It’s not just a scan, it gives us a completely different view of the retina than ever before. We can see through the layers and through sections, so we can spot any early changes”.

THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGY TO HELP YOU SEE AND HEAR CLEARER FOR LONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.

They’re also able to easily monitor existing conditions using the scans, as they provide a detailed picture of progression that can be kept on file.

Josie says “Our business has grown since opening in 2002. It has been a very satisfying process, helping many people gain confidence because they can see or hear more clearly again. And as our customers keep returning to us, we will continue to offer superb service.”

What’s more, their comprehensive, quality service is for all budgets. The scan can be easily added to your normal eye test for just £10. And they stock a wide range of frames and lenses – including designer frames – for all budgets.

For more information or to book an appointment call 01653 692 784. Open seven days a week.

A FIELD OF VISION

Being able to see through to the lowest levels of the eye means your optometrist is able to spot signs of disease years in advance. A retinal photo only shows cells once they have died (and are at the surface), but now they can see when the cells are sick or thinner, so they can catch the disease process before it happens.

For example, the OCT scan could detect glaucoma four to five years before a standard exam would, meaning you are able to start treating it much earlier.

KITCHENS & BEDROOMS Local service, choice & value

Not only can we find just about any kitchen you might have seen, it will cost a lot less than you expected too.

T

he people who are best qualified to speak for the benefits of Instyle Kitchens and Bedrooms are its customers.

Instyle’s directors Gary and Paul say that more than 80 per cent of customers come through referrals from their customers’ family, friends and neighbours. James and Heather, from Wiggington, wrote: “You made the experience stress-free and were a great help from designing the kitchen right up until it was installed. The end result is exactly what we wanted and more. The quality of the kitchen is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.”

Gary said: “Often, someone looking for a new kitchen visits us while they’re shopping around, but they place their order with us, because once they’ve mentioned to their family and friends they had a look at Instyle, people tell them ‘You must go with Instyle – they did my kitchen, my neighbours’ kitchen, my aunty’s kitchen’...”

A kitchen is a long-term investment – but Instyle has received repeat business from some customers. Gary added: “One lady had her second kitchen from us, because she moved house and wanted exactly the same kitchen as she’d had before. The kitchen in her new house was fine, it was only ten years old, but she said she couldn’t do with anything less than we’d fitted for her before.”

After 29 years of trading, Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms has grown from a one-man band fitting one 28 | Handy Mag | October 2019

kitchen a month, to a close-knit team designing and installing three kitchens a week, plus bedrooms and P.V.C. windows.

Their extensive contacts throughout the industry mean they can source just about any kitchen you may have seen and offer one of the widest choices of styles and designs in the area.

The experienced and skilled team make the design, planning and installation of a new kitchen a stress-free experience.

After a visit to their wellestablished showroom in Haxby, Instyle’s experts organise the entire project from a new creative design to the end result. Around 90% of kitchens are completed within a week – granite work surfaces or extensive refits are the only exceptions.

Although a new kitchen is a big investment, Instyle consistently

beats its competitors on price.

And if money is tight, an Instyle kitchen or bedroom facelift can freshen up a tired looking room for an excellent price. Gary said: “New cupboard doors, worktops and flooring can give the feel of a new kitchen often for half the price of new.

“We don’t use any pressure sales tactics, we just make sure we provide exactly what the customer wants, for extremely competitive prices.”

For no-nonsense know-how, designs to suit you and a smooth installation process, contact Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms on 01904 764383.

CHARLIE’S COLUMN Getting Active

For most of my life, getting fit has not been an option. There was no PE at school I could partake in and long walks or regular exercise were always out of the question.

With a resting heart rate of 95-120bpm, adding any extra movement would send my heart dangerously high and make my head feel awful. This often led to days of being bed bound, and bad flares with my Arthritis meant I ended up in a bad place mentally. If I were to get a good spell of health, who could facilitate my needs?

One of the biggest problems for me and mum to solve was to find a gym that would have a friendly atmosphere and staff that could understand my health conditions. After we got the ok from my doctor, my Mum contacted a local gym in Pickering run by Peter Nelson and told him about my epilepsy, a heart condition and arthritis. Peter felt confident that he could take me on and we met him at his fitness centre. Within 5 minutes of visiting, my mum and I felt completely comfortable and confident about future sessions. The first thing to sort out was the lack of muscle tone in my legs. It went very well and I’ve been back many times. My body feels better after each workout, and Peter has been brilliant in managing my exercises. For me to be able to go to the gym has been the beginning of something that I never thought would ever happen. I’ve certainly come a long way.

New statistics from The State of UK Fitness Industry report state that the industry is “Healthier than it has ever been”. Membership is up 4.7%, meaning 1 in 7 people across Britain is a member of a gym. It’s great to see that business is booming, and that people are finding time in their busy lives to stay in shape.

I would definitely recommend joining a gym. With the right people behind me, I have started to get fit on a weekly basis. And this means that I’ve even started to feel better within myself.

We are members of the Trust My Garage Scheme which is endorsed by the Retail Motor Industry. (www.trustmygarage.co.uk).

Tel: 01751 475794 In the year 2009 • Over 1 million cars were been produced in the UK. • The sixth Harry Potter film – Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was released.

• The UK suffered the worst snowfall for almost 20 years.

• Manchester United won the Premier league • Jenson Button won the Formula 1 World Championship.

Our industry standard approved vehicle servicing follows the recommended manufacturers’ guidelines, working to a service industry check sheet. In following these guidelines the manufacturers’ warranty is protected (for more information on this see www.yourcaryourchoice.co.uk) . We will change the filters and oil as necessary and remove the wheels from the car to strip and clean the brakes and apply grease to the brake mechanisms, which helps to keep them freed off and working efficiently for longer.

For long hot journeys to be comfortable in the car, air conditioning plays an important part in this. We offer air conditioning servicing and refills. As colder weather sets in the air conditioning is also very useful to turn on to quickly clear the condensation from the inside of your windscreen.

Apple Weekend at RV Roger Nursery 5th & 6th October

fruit from the orchards, including varieties you may never have seen before.

RV Roger’s fruit experts will be on hand to help you choose the right tree for your garden, and the one that best suits your taste. You can find out everything from how to plan your orchard, to getting advice with seasonality and storage; how to choose a heritage or local variety; and what the difference is between a tree, a fan, and an espalier. You can watch demonstrations of how to prune your fruit trees, as well as get advice on pests and other problems, and even bring along your fruit for identification.

Apple celebrations have been growing in popularity since Apple Day began over 25 years ago as a way of celebrating variety and richness in a locality. RV Roger Ltd continues to encourage this by growing more than 200 varieties of apples, including local and regional varieties not normally found on the supermarket shelf.

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away’ – You’ve heard it all before of course – but is it true? Well, we all know that apples help to reduce tooth decay, but according to Dr. Adam Briggs from the British Heart Foundation: apples also contain lots of Vitamin C which aids our immune system, as well as phenols which help to reduce blood cholesterol. So, if you fancy a bit more of something that does you good - then pop down to the RV Roger Apple Weekend in Pickering, where Apple Weekend will be celebrated at the plant centre on Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th October from 9am to 5pm. There will be displays of more than 200 varieties of fruit, including many rare and heritage varieties of apples, pears, plums, medlar, quince, and nuts. You’ll also be able to taste a range of fruit before you order your fruit tree, as well as buy freshly-picked

Highlights of the Apple Weekend include: • A display of more than 200 fruit, apples, pears, medlar, quince, and more • Advice from experts on choosing, growing and pruning fruit trees • Talks and demonstrations throughout the weekend.

• Gift books, DeWit tools, garden vouchers for sale • Professional apple identification (There will be a small charge for this)

ALL ABOUT APPLES

HELMSLEY

Walled Garden

A

is for apple, seemingly the most ordinary fruit in the world and so embedded in our lives we use it to help us learn the alphabet as children. How much do we really know about the humble apple?

It came originally from Kazakhstan in Asia, introduced into Britain by the Romans who understood how to cross different apple varieties and graft them on to different root stocks. The Victorians prized the thinner skinned varieties over tougher waxier ones and would be stunned to see the popularity of Braeburn and Jazz varieties today.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the apple is how many different varieties can grow in Britain. We see maybe half a dozen varieties in the supermarket, but in Yorkshire alone you could be growing Lane’s Prince Albert (gorgeous late cooker) Nancy Jackson (another late cooker which keeps well in storage), Adam’s Pearmain (late dessert) or Bloody Ploughman ( a mid-season dessert apple with its own murderous legend).

All these apples grow at Helmsley Walled Garden where we have over one hundred trees and nearly as many varieties. They clothe the walls in espaliers, grow freely in the orchard and make cordons and steps overs around the community plots. These last mentioned form the Hilary Wilson collection of apples that grow well in Yorkshire. Hilary is a well-known pomologist with an almost unparalled knowledge of northern apples. Over the years she tracked down these unusual varieties and generously donated this collection to the Garden.

I grew up when the main apple choices in the supermarket were Golden Delicious and Granny Smith. Back then I thought all apples looked and tasted the same. Imagine my surprise later in life to discover that apples can differ in colour from pale lemon through green and rose to deepest burgundy and can taste crisp, dry or light and sweet. Imagine also my surprise to discover that picked fresh, Golden Delicious has a delicate flavour rather than none at all after it has been in cold storage for months. When we make apple juice here at the Garden it ranges from palest pink to deepest amber and the flesh comes in different textures also.

So embedded in our history is the apple that many myths surround it including the power of bestowing eternal youth, or so the Celts believed. I can’t vouch for that but I can say that there is a wealth of gorgeous British apples to be discovered and you can find out more if you come to Helmsley Walled Garden on Saturday 19th October for our Apple Day event. There will be the chance to taste unusual apples, find out about pruning and training along with apple trails and quizzes for children. So come and enjoy this most British fruit with us.

yedale Woodturners is a group of like minded individuals who meet once a month to watch, discuss or have a go at, woodturning.

They meet on the first Thursday of every month in Snainton Village Hall, near Scarborough, from 7:00 – 9:30 pm, and usually welcome a professional woodturner to give a demonstration. This usually involves creating a piece from scratch during the two hours, explaining all the time the techniques and thought processes that go in to making the piece.

The club also holds demonstrations, exhibitions and sales of members’ work. It has a “hands-on night”, a Christmas party, and often has second hand tools, books and magazines available.

The club has a website with lots more information, including a write-up and photographs from all the demonstrations over the past few years. www.ryedalewoodturners.org.uk Guests are always welcome, as are new members.

LIVING FOR THE MOMENT

By Rev Rachel Hirst St Peter’s Church, Norton

I

wonder if you’re one of those people who is always thinking ahead, worrying about tomorrow, next week, next month, next year?

Lots of things in life draw our attention ahead.

Perhaps work, home life, a family, finances or health concerns do that. As a vicar I find myself having to start planning for Christmas in August which I don’t really like!

Recently I was sitting outside watching some swallows gathering on a telephone wire. I decided to try not to think about anything and just enjoy the scene. The birds were swooping and gathering together, and then flying off again. They looked like they were enjoying themselves. I found myself wishing I could be more carefree like them.

I remembered when Jesus was giving a talk to a group of people one day and said ‘Look at the birds, free and unfettered, care-less in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to their life?’

Worry is a part of life for so many of us but by always thinking ahead we are missing out on today, the moments as they happen. Have you ever tried sitting and watching the birds as I did, or going for a walk and trying to pay full attention to what you see, the little, often overlooked things? I have found that as I’ve focussed more on the moment I get a better perspective on what’s ahead, the things that really matter.

Life does have its difficulties and we can’t ignore that. But often our worry is really ‘fretting’, chewing things over, building scenarios that haven’t even happened in our minds.

If you catch yourself doing that why not ‘look at the birds’ and try living for the moment a bit more?

TOP TIPS FROM A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR OLDER PATIENTS TO STILL GO TO THE DENTIST?

A

s patients get older some think that its not important to continue to see the dentist, and that their teeth having lasted till now should be ok, but we’ll explain why this is a risky strategy. The NHS

by Christine Parker know that treatment needs often BDS (GDC 72136) increase as patients age and this is why dental care is not automatically free after retirement age.

As we age our mouths may become drier, this can be due to medication, changes in our salivary gland function or have a systemic cause. A dry mouth massively increases your likelihood of dental problems, saliva act as a lubricant, aids chewing and helps to neutralise the pH of the mouth after you have eaten. It contains antibacterial elements which also help the gum condition.

Older patients who keep their teeth may also have been heavily filled over the years and their bone support for their teeth may be reduced. A build up of tartar can cause gum disease which has been proven to link to heart disease and diabetes and some studies have demonstrated the same bacteria in the mouth as in the brains of dementia patients. A worrying thought.

Regular visits to the dentist and thorough cleaning both at home and professionally can all reduce tartar build up. The additional benefit is that your mouth will feel healthier and look better.

We understand that access can be a problem and practices with close parking and ground floor surgery such as ours can enable you to continue to be seen. Please call Jan at Howardian Dental for details on how to register.

Modern Dentistry Traditional Service Dr Christine Parker BDS invites you to register We are conveniently located at 11 Alan Farnaby Way, York Road Business Park, Sheriff Hutton YO60 6PG t: 01347 878111

“A 13cm square gap in the bottom of your fence or wall will help hedgehogs who travel around a mile a night.”

ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO WITH A HEDGEHOG IN NEED OF HELP As well as providing access to roam, here are some other things to do to help hedgehogs; • Before using a strimmer, make sure the area to cut is clear.

• For a couple of days after applying wood preservative at ground level, protect your work from hedgehogs who like to lick it! It makes them very poorly.

• Stop or reduce the amount of pesticides and poisons used.

• Move piles of rubbish to a new site before burning them.

• Ensure netting is kept at a safe height.

• Check compost heaps before digging the fork in.

• Cover drains or deep holes • Ensure there is an easy route out of ponds and pools.

• A hedgehog lying in the sun or wobbling as it walks or with flies round it needs help. Use a gardening glove to collect it up, bring it indoors and put in a high-sided cardboard box with an old towel or fleece for it to hide under.

Short Story A Marrow Just Knows

“Make room on the table for my marrow, Linda,” Edna barked, hugging the vegetable to her chest, while pretending not to notice Linda slipping something she shouldn’t into her coat pocket.

“It’s my donation to the tombola.”

“Really?” Linda frowned. “Why’s that?”

“Edna, what a surprise!” Linda shrilled, smoothing her clothing. “I thought you were helping to get the cream teas ready?”

“Look at it.” Edna nodded warily at the marrow. “I’ve had that thing staring back at me from the vegetable plot for weeks.”

“All done,” said Edna, heaving the marrow onto the table, “so I thought I’d come and give you a hand.”

“How odd. It looks as though the stripes have formed a human face on it. It’s quite sinister isn’t it?” Linda whispered. “It’s as though it’s scowling.”

“I’m nearly done here too.” Linda needlessly fussed over her display.

“We’ve got a good spread.” Edna stood back and admired Linda’s arrangement of donated tombola prizes. “Would you look at that!”

“Its eyes follow you everywhere,” Edna growled. “It knows all your secrets.” Edna warmed to her theme.

“Last week I forgot to leave some money out for the milkman, and that marrow wouldn’t give me any peace until I put it right.”

“You mean the hamper?” Linda remarked casually.

“A very generous donation.”

“But that’s crazy.” Linda stepped back. “How can it know?”

The tombola table was heaving with jars of chutneys and jams, some very nice-looking home-made cakes and some not so nice-looking home-made cakes.

But it was the hamper that everyone would be want to win.

“It just knows,” Edna shrugged, and let her words hang in the air for a moment. Finally, she added cheerfully, “Are you going to stick a raffle ticket on it?”

“Must be a few bob’s worth of stuff in there – chocolates, prosecco and some very fancy smellies,” Edna winked at Linda. “Looks like number five is the ticket everyone will be trying to get their mitts on.”

“Is it?” Linda unconsciously touched her pocket.

“Oh yes, of course it is.”

“Very good of you to help,” Edna continued.

“It’s always nice to get new volunteers.”

“Very kind of you to donate your marrow.” Linda patted the huge vegetable. “I’m sure anyone would be delighted to win that.”

“Doubtful,” Edna snorted. “I’m glad to see the back of it.” | Handy Mag | October 2019 66 66 | Handy Mag | October 2019

“Yes of course.” Linda jumped and battled with the tape dispenser while keeping her eye on the marrow.

“Shall we put the tickets in the tombola barrel?” Edna said. “That’s the last job isn’t it?”

Edna watched as Linda anxiously folded the raffle tickets, a mist of sweat beading her top lip. The women worked in silence while the marrow looked on, angrily.

Edna knew it wouldn’t be long until Linda cracked. A marrow always works a charm on a guilty conscience.

Even a marrow with a face drawn on with felt-tipped pen. Ticket number five would soon find its way out of Linda’s pocket and back into the tombola barrel, with no questions asked.

THE GONDOLIERS Musical Director – Alasdair Jamieson Stage Director – Pauline Marshall

York Opera has a rich history dating back to 1967 and each year produce a number of operas, operettas and concerts, with singers from all over Yorkshire and far beyond.

The Gondoliers was first performed in 1889 and was an instant success – so much so that it received the honour of a private performance in 1891 in Windsor Castle in the presence of Queen Victoria.

Set in Venice and the ‘Kingdom of Barataria’, it is full of visual and musical colour, wonderful melodies and lively dances. Gilbert’s libretto is as witty as ever on the subjects of republicanism and equality, and Sullivan’s music sparkles with warmth and good humour.

Outstanding numbers abound: Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes, A Regular Royal Queen, When a Merry Maiden Marries, the delightful Gavotte and the famous Cachucha – to name but a few.

WHY IS MY MUM SO OBSESSED WITH MY POO?

Every time I have a poo, my mum seems to be so interested in picking it up and putting it into a little black bag. It’s just weird, as soon as I’ve had a poo, I want to rush off and get on with the rest of my walk, not wait around for her to inspect and collect!

She then insists on carrying it around with her like a souvenir until she finds a collection box to put it in and yet again, I have to wait around for her. I’ve seen those little black bags dotted around on paths or hanging from branches and wondered what they were, maybe other mums are also obsessed with picking up their dog’s poo but for some reason they don’t know about the special collection boxes, but what’s the point in putting the poo in a bag if you aren’t going to take it to the collection box?

It is a bit annoying when you find someone else’s poo stuck to your foot though, the smell is so strong that it makes me think there’s another dog following me around, it also means that I have to have my feet washed, something I really hate!

If everyone picks up the dog poo, I hope that doesn’t mean they’re going to start picking up the rabbit and horse poo as well, it makes a very tasty snack for me!

The Rock Garden is Alive…

by Pippa Greenwood

I

f you have ever dreamed of Sound of Music landscapes, then create your own! A garden mountain range might not be possible, but you may have space for your very own rock garden. So what do you need to do?

You’ll need to choose a fairly sunny spot, ideally away from overhanging deciduous trees – most alpine plants like a fair bit of light and detest becoming clogged up with deteriorating leaves. Even if space is limited, make the rock garden on as large a scale as possible, for more impact and planting opportunities, and a more realistic feel. If possible include gullies running down the rock garden, perhaps ending in a pond. Where the water runs beneath rocks (rather the over them) you should use guttering or drainage pipes that are hidden by soil or rock outcrops. Get yourself a good selection of rock from local or mail-order suppliers and don’t be tempted to use old chunks of concrete – the end result will look like a rubble pile with plants!

Use a pile of rubble or broken bricks to create the classic mound shape – this will be hidden by the good-looking rocks. The rubble pile also ensures good drainage. Use

upturned turves on top of the mound, laid grassy side down. Then add a layer of sandy soil, to a depth of about 30cm, over the top of the turves; these prevent the soil from slipping down amongst the rocks. Then, using string and pegs, mark out where you want each outcrop of rock. Once the soil is well-firmed, dig out a hole for each rock; this keeps the rocks securely embedded. Use smaller bits of stone beneath the rocks to wedge them firmly. Add more soil over these bits of stone and then more soil between the rocks when they are in position. Water well.

Alpine plants are available in nurseries and garden centres now, but just choose a few – buying more throughout next spring and summer will give you an array of alpines to provide flowers and interest throughout most of the year. Arrange your plants, still in their pots, on the surface of the soil and when you are happy with how they look, use a trowel to make a planting hole, then remove the pot, pop the plant in the hole, and fill in around it with some compost. When you have finished planting you can top-dress the soil surface with good-looking horticultural grit or gravel.
