With more and more folk getting stuck in to working on their gardens right now, CMR Creations is simply busier than ever. After just returning from a 3 day garden show in Hertfordshire and meeting several of our existing customers who bought further planters for their gardens, there's just time to head home for one day to reload before heading back to Hertfordshire for a 4 day show run by Living Crafts at Hatfield House. This is one of our most enjoyable events of the year, a 100% handmade fair where only the best artists are able to showcase their work.
