Hairdressing and beauty in your own home. For the busy person who struggles to find the time to have a haircut or travelling to have that much needed relaxing massage.

I have been living in Hankelow now for 3 years with my 2 children and partner and can say that I have been taken in by the wonderful area along with its people. I have trained and have gained various certificates over the years for hairdressing, beauty treatments and relaxation methods and have since begun to offer full treatments for that special occasion such as weddings. Nail treatments are also a new addition as I am always looking to add to my portfolio.

This is just a few of the treatments available but please view the price guide for further information or please feel free to call for a consultation on the number given.

Born in Sussex about the same time as Jesus. Now entering my forty-third year as a Plasterer. Two years in Germany, and over the years have had the privilege of working in wonderful houses like Bettisfield Hall, Moss Hall, Hawkstone Hall and many manor houses. Even on the restoration of a mud hut. Although plastering is not so much of a passion any more, it is a way of earning a living. I get a lot of pleasure from giving advice to genuine people. I became inspired with plasterwork long before I left school when one day I was given a day off school and bundled into an old Standard van stinking of leather and petrol. Yes, I was off to work with me Dad and I thought how boring is this going to be. Until I got there. Not a bad house, this, is it Dad ? Waddesdon Manor, home of the Rothschilds in Buckinghamshire. There, I would watch him running fine moulds on ceilings when the manor was altered in the mid-fifties. I was hooked.

We are Janet and Martin of Yew Tree House, Hall Lane. Under the name SpecialPerennials.com we grow plants selling at plant fairs, farmers' markets and by mail order. We can also offer a border design service helping you choose the rights plants for your garden.

SpecialPerennials.com has really taken off this year and we have travelled far and wide selling plants at shows including Arley Summer Festival, Chatsworth and many regional plant society fairs. We recently won a Silver Medal for our display at the Gardening Show at the Royal International Pavilion, Llangollen.

We grow a large variety of (mainly hardy) herbaceous perennials including garden favourites and many unusual and hard to find varieties you won't find at the garden centre. All our plants are home grown being tried out first in our own gardens and we are always happy to offer advice.

We have a particular passion for Hemerocallis (Day Lily) with over 300 varieties and Helenium, over 70 varieties which represents more than 80% of those available anywhere in Britain. We aim to apply for National Plant Collection status for Heleniums early next year. This means we have a collection of national significance in terms of the number of varieties we grow and standards of cultivation we apply.

This year we have been busy replanting our beds and borders with the aim of attaining a high enough standard for the National Gardens Scheme (Yellow Book). In a couple of years time we hope to be raising lots of money for Cancer Charities from opening the garden.

Our website has lots of information and pictures taken in our garden. Browse our plants at SpecialPerennials.com or feel free to drop by and have a look. Please let all your gardening friends know!
