Tom’s Yard

Tom’s Yard Garden plants and up cycled items for sale with all proceeds going to help me with my future career in catering. Welcome to Toms Yard.

It is Toms wish to go to a full-time college from the age of 18. But not only that, a 24-7 college in the form of Foxes Academy in Minehead. A working hotel that gives all of its special needs residential students, gaining experience as staff, the opportunity to learn a trade in catering and hospitality with the hope they will have full time careers and become 'tax-payers' not 'tax burdens' and mo

re importantly a sense of self worth. In order to get Tom on the course comes at a huge financial cost however, so here lies the brainchild of 'Toms Yard'. Whilst we have yet another huge battle with the local authority to convince them that Foxes is the best place for Tom to be educated, we are going to start raising funds for this to happen. In my line of work I come across a lot of things in gardens that customers no longer want. As well as my dislike for throwing things away, filling waste skips unnecessarily and the ever diminishing space in landfill sites, I've spotted an opportunity to upcycle these items to help fund Toms education and future career in catering.

This is the best news to share .. Tom will be heading to Foxes Academy next weekend !

It’s been a long old battle for provision but we are absolutely delighted to finally be getting Tom ready for this amazing opportunity. The next 3 years will give him the chance to be the best he can be with hospitality and life skills taught in such a specialist setting, to say we are delighted is an under statement !

We wanted to let you know Tom’s great news and to thank you all for your absolutely wonderful support and invaluable help in getting us to this stage!!.. Tom hopes all your plants are doing beautifully and will remind you of him and his new adventure... We, on the other hand are burying our head in the sand as to family life minus our big boy ... but it’s all for the greater good!
Thank you all again
Love Tom and his family 💪👍🦊😘

With lockdown in full swing Tom is rather getting used to his lie-ins!! 😴......the best I could do was drag him out of bed at 10am, don his onesie and attempt to get his hands dirty.

Locally on Facebook there have been a lot of requests for vegetable plants, bedding plants, seeds etc. Unfortunately we can’t help out with that at the moment, but doing our best to source what we can.

In the meantime we still have plenty of white tulips growing nicely and about to flower, also these shrubs pictured and plenty more we will post over the coming days. (See individual photos for prices)

Two pairs of hanging baskets and a few small decorative pots and a planting trough.

We can deliver locally with social distancing ( collection preferable where you are allowed and it is safe to do so).

Stay safe and well and in your gardens!! 🌷🌞
