Bosworth’s approach a landowner around the new Burton Latimer bypass to discuss a new Garden Centre site.  The site is around the Cranford Road and A6 junction

John Bosworth catches his paperboy one morning and tells him that it is time to start a proper job.  Rob Jarrett begins as a Saturday lad.  Rob is now our Main Landscaper, having learned a lot of his skills from John.  Rob and his colleagues are now constructing award winning gardens to very high standards.

Sam returns from college and on Boxing Day takes a sledgehammer to one of his Dad’s cold frames adjacent to the bungalow.  John was not amused.  Jill was excited about the retail opportunities.
