Here at Chimney Sheep, we value outdoor play activities for children! It’s brilliant for both our physical and mental health – and of course a way of providing endless entertainment for children during the holidays. We created our Go Outside range with families in mind, to encourage more people to get outside! We want to …
The environment is rightly so on everyone’s minds, if you have a garden, you might be brave enough to let natural regeneration take over and leave it alone! However, if you’re like us we like to potter about in the garden, grow veg and fruit, and use the garden for children to play or drink …

Spring is upon us which means it is time to prep our gardens to ensure they are bloomin’ beautiful come the summertime but why not use chemical free gardening methods this year?

Hi everyone! Since our last Buy Land Plant Trees update, lot of exciting stuff has been going on, so I thought it was about time I gave you another update! With everything else that is going on at the moment and many of us in the position where we aren’t going to be enjoying the Christmas’s …
We need to reduce plastic in the oceans. We have all heard it before, and most have us have probably seen lots of photos too. I got to the point where I couldn’t read any more reports on how much plastic pollution there was in the oceans. There seemed to be endless images of turtles …
It is a common myth that we don’t need to be helping birds during the winter but it is actually one of the most crucial times for us to be giving them support by providing food, water and shelter. Here in the UK, we spend £200 million a year on bird food which is amazing! But, with that …
