Our Rushes
For cotton we go to Egypt,
for chocolate we go to Belgium and
for bulrushes we go to The Netherlands…..or
do we?!
In collaboration with the Environment Agency, the Broads Authority, the
Waveney River Trust, and local landowners, we are proud to say that
English bulrushes are back at Waveney Rush. Following a couple of
‘test’ years we are delighted to be harvesting English bulrush once
again in the River Waveney and hope that we can build on recent progress
to ensure that the rush beds are managed in a sustainable way that
safeguards their future potential, whilst protecting the natural river
course, benefiting the indigenous wildlife, and improving accessibility
for other river users.
Our primary concern remains the quality of our products, and the quality
of the rushes combined with the expertise of our highly trained team, is
wholly intrinsic to this concern. We will continue to acquire samples
from around the world to check and compare the quality of the rushes to
ensure that our customers are receiving the very best bulrushes that
nature can offer. Our rushes are specifically chosen for their size,
girth and length, their softness, their colour and cleanliness, and very
importantly, their aroma.
After over 69 years in the rush weaving trade we know and understand our
rushes and which rushes make the best products for you; products that
will last and will look and smell beautiful for years to come. We are
keeping everything crossed that the River Waveney bulrushes come out on
top year after year after year. |
