NDS recycled timber gains approval

 
  Natural Driftwood Sculptures will continue in its moves to promote the use of recycled high quality timber for the full range of garden projects. Commenting following the successful launch of recycled timber range at the Chelsea Flower Show in May, Magnus Harding, Managing Director of Natural Driftwood Sculptures said: "The Hampton Court Flower Show provides us with the ideal platform to build on the positive interest and support that we have received since our recycled timber was launched."  
  The NDS range of recycled "First Growth" sawn and prepared cedar from the same source, ideal for use as timber for greenhouses, decking and wall cladding. The beauty of this high quality first growth timber is the wonderful dark red fascia, excellent for internal and external uses, particularly within the construction of buildings. All NDS cedar is processed in British Columbia and available in the UK, it can be supplied ready to use, in a range of profiles from smooth tongued and grooved to natural driftwood textured faces.  
  "Our customers are getting the very best quality seasoned timber whilst contributing positively to the environment. NDS is committed to the long term utilization of this recycled timber", concluded Magnus Harding.  
  Examples of the complete range and style of reclaimed timber were on display at the NDS stand (E30).  

 

Diarmuid Gavin goes Wild - and the crowds do to

 
  Last month, Diarmuid Gavin and team journeyed to the coastal ranges of Canada's Pacific North West to film Natural Driftwood Sculptures Ltd.'s eco friendly collection of naturally formed Western Red Cedar sculptures. Diarmuid's trip was broadcast on the BBC during coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show. He was filmed out on the lake in NDS's collection boat helping to select and recover choice naturally formed sculptures. NDS have in this way been recycling the previously unusable parts of felled trees discarded by earlier generations.  
  "The programme showed to the widest possible range of gardeners and professional horticulturalists the beautiful source of our driftwood - and the positive affect that our re-cycling is having on the environment", reported Magnus Harding. "The record number of visitors to our stand at Chelsea, and comments made, confirmed a move towards the use of eco-friendly materials in the garden".  
  NDS select Western Red Cedar as it has its own built in preservatives and has survived decades on the forest floor or drifting on the surface of the hydro lakes and their beaches. NDS cedar products are the ultimate environmentally friendly recovered material to enhance any garden or home. NDS are showing a stunning range of sculptures, fencing and paving at this years Hampton Court Flower Show (stand E30).
