Cell: (664)493-1057 Specialty:
As I often say, "The customer is the one paying so the customer gets
exactly what he wants." I will discuss your gardening needs with
you and arrange a regular schedule of work or I will do special one time
jobs, such as cutting trees, turning over a garden, trimming or planting
a hedge. Owners comment: I have been a professional gardener for
many years and can provide excellent references.
The
Farmers Co-op Headed
by Claude Browne, the co-op provides seeds, chemicals, sprayers and other
agricultural products to its members at a reduced price. The membership
fee is EC $60/year and everyone is welcome to join. Meetings are held
monthly where issues of concern to farmers are discussed. The Farmers
Association Monthly Meeting takes place on the the last Tuesday at the
Farmer's Resource Center (where you pick up your little seedlings -- just
ask when you get there) To pick up your supplies from the Farmer's Association
their warehouse is located at the Anglican Church Rectory in St. Peters.
It is just as you pass the Riverside bar on the upper road to St. Peters.
You will find Violet West working there on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00PM.
and you will find Ellen Sweeney there from 10:00AM to 12:00PM on Thursday.
You do not have to be a commercial farmer to participate in this cooperative,
and because most of the members are commercial farmers you can learn a
lot since each year we face many unique problems which the commercial
farmers have to solve for their lively hood depends on it. You can call
Claude Brown at the Ministry of Agriculture Trade and the Environment
(Tel: 491-2546 or 491-9275) to join.
Her
Majesty's Prison Brades, Montserrat (the entrance is on the left
of the Brades Police Station)
Tel: (664)491-2286
This is not a normal garden shop, but it offers prisoners a chance to
be productive and to enjoy working on the land while they serve their
sentences. For the consumer it is a great resource for reasonably priced
plants, shrubs and trees. A year or so ago you might have even gotten
some good gardening advice from a fellow named James "Chicken"
Lewis who was "in" for some time. He has finished his sentence
and may be looking for work; maybe you'll be needing a gardener.

Tuitt
Roses and Shrubs, Olveston, Montserrat Tel: (664)491-6407 Owner: Catherine Tuitt Specialty: As our name implies we specialize in roses
such as hybrid-T and Queen Elizabeth and shrubs such as bougainvillea
and white and purple heather, along with a selection of flowers such as
petunias. Owners Comment: In 1990 one of Montserrat's expatriate
residents brought me some gardening books and told me I have a talent
in the garden. Not long after, she helped me get my first order of plants
and supplies and since then most of my customers have found me by word
of mouth. Call and come to visit anytime after 4:00 P.M. when you will
always find me in the garden where I will give you a tour while we chat
about gardening.
