When the market hall closed for refurbishment Ruth’s stall moved onto Broad Street where it has remained since. Ruth’s stall is always full of fantastic array of shrubs, plants and colourful seasonal flowers.

Lee Davies, Newtown Charter Market Manager, commented:

“Newtown Tuesday market wouldn’t be the same without Ruth with her plants and flowers. Ruth has shown loyalty and continuity to the community of Newtown. I encourage people to support Ruth and other market stall holders at Newtown’s Charter Market on Tuesdays”.
