Barrow & Bench Mitre 10

Barrow & Bench Mitre 10 An award winning hardware store and garden centre. You will find us on Unley Road, Malvern, South Australia. PLANT - MAKE - FIX - ENJOY

In April 1978 Barrow & Bench was created by the Stewart & Coote Families trading from the old Ampol Service Station site at the corner of Unley Road and Fisher Street, Unley, South Australia as a Big H Store. In August 1982 Barrow & Bench joined the Mitre10 Group and in August 1984 the Stewart Family became the sole owners of the Barrow & Bench outlet. The Malvern store relocated and moved into th

e old Fairway Ford site at 321 Unley Road, Unley in October 1999 after completing major reconstruction of the premises. Ian Stewart retired in 2006 with Paul taking on the day to day running of the Malvern store. In 2013 Paul purchased the Malvern store . Paul's focus is on good customer service with the right range of DIY products. MITRE 10 HISTORY: In 1959 a group of eight independent hardware and plumbing retailers formed a cooperative to harness their collective buying and marketing power. They chose the name Mitre 10. Mitre is a term meaning "joining together" and the 10 signified the number of stores the group aspired to manage. A little over four decades on from its humble beginnings, Mitre 10 has become the biggest hardware brand throughout Australasia, with over 700 stores.

It’s that time of the year to be sowing winter seeds and seedlings, reading gardening books, planning spring plantings, and with this weekends rain it’s also the perfect time to be sitting by the fire. Locally bagged firewood and kindling along with eco fire starters, matches and more in store now. The perfect way to keep you warm and the at home ambience happening, and of course fabulous for occasional fires when you don’t have an enormous wood stack at home (ps … the bagged wood is a fabulous way to keep your car clean when transporting the bags home.)

It’s always a good day when we have Hayley and Tom from Hello SA in the store and today we had the pleasure of having them back in our own garden to talk all things winter pruning … and it is true, it’s not quite winter and our fruit trees, with this unseasonally warm weather, are still holding their leaves, but you will get the gist of it. We talked about opening up trees to allow sunlight (aka natures fruit ripening agent), as well as airflow into the trees. We talked about simple things like pruning to an outwards facing bud, about pruning on dry days like today and keeping trees manageable. They are little things you can incorporate into helping manage your precious fruit trees. Oh, and we also fed cows and were loved to bits by the golden dogs. It’s been fun, and it will go to air in a few weeks time.

Elegant. White. Calming. Beautiful. You can’t go past cyclamen at this time of the year. Such a gorgeous plant for indoors or out and absolutely lovely as a gift for Mother’s Day. Lots of cyclamen in store. Some fabulous chrysanthemum as well. And just coming off the trucks as I left last night are azalea (many of them blooming) and if you’re patient with us today we will get the camellia on the shelves too. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend of planty goodness. Open 8-5 Saturday. 9-5 Sunday. See you soon.
