a year-long battle with liver cancer.
In the final fortnight of his life, he was
cared for by the Stockton hospice, and
when Andrea saw a poster for the
midnight walk, she told her dad she was
going to do it.
After her dad passed away, Andrea
recruited Team Bobkins to walk in his
memory.
Andrea said: “Dad went on a trial at
Newcastle but it didn’t work and he ended
up at North Tees Hospital before spending
the last fortnight of his life in the
Butterwick.
“I wanted to say thank you to the
Butterwick because they looked after him
in such a fantastic way.

The gardening
season has arrived
Following a mild Winter peoples enthusiasm for
gardening & home improvements outdoors has
reached a high.
What a pleasure it is to welcome Spring – a
perfect time for rediscovering the outdoor spaces
around our homes, planning changes, seeing the
results of a new season and also anticipating the
year ahead.
Here at Wilkinsons our plant centre is bursting at
the seams with exciting new stock showing signs
of fresh growth, in all different shades of green
through to a vibrant rainbow of colours, hinting
at the bright seasons ahead. If that isn’t enough
to excite and inspire you, a wander through our
show gardens will undoubtedly help you to
imagine and plan new creative ideas for your
garden this year.
The landscaping team are busy with projects in
domestic gardens carrying out tasks that will
improve the enjoyment of the outdoor spaces –
from water features to decking or a new patio,
we are at home in any garden and aim to create
exciting, indulgent installations.

We also understand the importance of the
essential jobs that are required following the
Winter period and can help you with any of your
general garden maintenance jobs. It's essential
to keep up the seasonal maintenance that will
allow our gardens to prosper all year including
clearing of vegetation around ponds areas,
feeding lawns, sowing seeds and pruning, but
not forgetting the nesting birds at this time of
year.
Being a local company with an established
customer base, we enjoy seeing the regular
customers, alongside new faces at our Plant
Centre. Word of our amazing selection of plants
must be getting around! This year is going to be
very busy for the Plant Centre alongside the
Landscaping business which is already receiving
a high number of enquiries ahead of Summer
months. If you would like to discuss your
landscaping requirements please contact us for a
no obligation visit.
