The May Garden

One of the best months in the garden!...

With Spring in the air and Summer just around the corner May makes gardening very enjoyable! And of course it is the month of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show where the worlds top designers show off their plants and style! 

Change your bedding...no we aren't taliking about your bed sheets. Spring bedding plants will soon be over, and its time to think about replacements. You will find a varied selection of fresh bedding is now available in the Plant Centre, bridging the gap between Spring and Summer colours, and keeping the vibrancy going!

If you are planting new perennials, a good tip is to prepare the ground well and mulch any newly planted plants to retain moisture in the soil. And of course water well especially during dry spells, to avoid the plants suffering stress.
