27/11/14 Nursery workers begin to grade and pack 450,000 poinsettias, Bordon Hill Nurseries, near Stratford-upon-Avon. The festive plants are grown under 15 acres of glass at the Warwickshire growers - the largest in the UK - who supply M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury's. Production Line Manager, Terrie Bragg said: "The plants have benefitted from the recent mild weather and we haven't had to spend as much on heating the glasshouses as we would normally at this time of year. "Cold weather usually keeps buyers aways from the shops too so we're in for a very good season if it stays warm until Christmas" she said. ***ANY UK EDITORIAL PRINT USE WILL ATTRACT A MINIMUM FEE OF £130.
