Adele Shelford begins to work at the Nursery as a Saturday girl.  Adele is now our Plant Manager, looking after the Garden Centre Plant area and the Nursery and is widely respected for maintaining one of the best Plant areas in the region.

Sam Bosworth goes to Writtle College in Chelmsford to study Commercial Horticulture

The Bosworths were approached by the South Midlands Co-Operative society to look at the possibility of creating a residential development.  The Co-Op owned the field to the south of the Nursery where Riverview and the Rushes are now situated.  They had owned this pasture for a number of years as they used if for grazing the horses which pulled their milk carts around the village.
