Plant Design: Hostas

Do you have shady spot where things struggle to grow? Why not try a hosta in a container? Hostas are easier to protect from slugs and snails in pots. Perfect for hiding drains too!

Container Gardening

Container Gardening Maintenance Tip:
Life in a container can be tough. In this heat, make sure your plants are getting enough water. Try to water in morning or evening. For an extra treat, give your potted Camellias, Conifers, Box and Bay some fertiliser (if you have some) as well.

Or give us a call and we'll do it for you!

Garden Maintenance Tip: Hoe loose gravel

Garden tip: run a hoe through areas of loose gravel in paths to disrupt weed seedlings.

Garden Maintenance: Weeds in paving

Clear out weeds in paving with an old knife or sprinkle salt on as an alternative to chemical weed killer.

Garden Maintenance: Tying in roses

Climbing and rambling roses should be tied in, training shoots as near as horizontal as possible. Training rose mainshoots horizontally causes more sideshoots to develop, producing more flowers

Planting Design: Making hanging baskets that last

When making hanging baskets, leave a dip in the middle so you can water easily and cleanly. When potting hanging baskets, make sure to mix water retaining granules in the compost...but follow the directions. Too many crystals can kill the plants!

Garden Maintenance: Osmanthus Delavayi

Osmanthus delavayi has flowered now. If you grow it in a formal shape, now is time to prune and feed.

Garden Maintenance: Aphids, ants and roses

Aphids are starting to come out and colonise succulent new growth of roses. Get your spray ready. If you see ants on roses, it's a sign of aphids. Make sure your spray is new as some treatments are no longer legal.
