Don't forget National Beanpole Week starts on Saturday - loads of special events this year, including a beanpole fayre. See http://www.beanpoles.org.uk for more...

Britain lost around 500,000 acres of its coppice woodland during the last century - 90% of its coppiced woodland. So you can support our woodlands, and your beans, by coming along to an event or simply by buying British coppiced beanpoles this year.

Toby Buckland is event patron this year.
