Tips & encouragement
Have a war on packaging. If it comes packaged make
it justify its existence in your shopping basket. Don’t
buy what you don’t need or what you can grow or
make, experiment and see if you can use half the
quantity of a product you need to use.

Key learnings
*Be passionate about your mission and constantly
look for ways of improvement
*If you show enough enthusiasm others will be
inspired and follow your example

For inspiration
“Our business is not just a business it’s a
lifestyle. We take a house and garden,
welcome lots of visitors, feed them homegrown
food and aim to teach and inspire
them to return home and create something
of The Limes Experience.”

Heather Brain, Partner, The Limes B&B, Clevedon
