Its hard to believe we are at the end of March what a fantastic month lots of fine day and great gardening weather to get started with.

March is a great month to get seedling started, whether its vegetables or the upcoming summer flower seed like sweet pea you are sowing.

Keep an eye on the night time weather. Just because it’s spring, don’t take for granted that the frost is gone always be cautious, we can have cold nights.

This week has been busy at the garden centre. We have lots of colour to fill up your pots. We have some lovely perennial violas and pansy that will flower throughout the year. If you only need to add a few bits to keep your pots going, we have packs of bellis a lovely daisy like flower.

There is also lots of lovely Alpine plants coming in for rockeries beds the Iberis is in full bloom a blanket of white flowers, the saxifrage is also looking lovely with two shades of pink available.

So, whether it’s a pot or a bed you are hoping to fill now we have a nice, selection of colour available.

This weekend is all about Mother’s Day and what can you give as a gift so lots of our mommy’s are into the garden so a pot full of colour would be a lovely gift.

We have lovely arrangements filled and ready to go with some beautiful colours. If you wanted to personalise the gift and give some thing different here are some ideas; – A Kanzan Tree commonly known as a cherry blossom a beautiful shade of pink blossom at this time of year.
-Magnolia with its beautiful tulip flowers that coming in striking purple a lovely white and just blooms lovely now.
-Camellia is a beautiful evergreen that has large ruby red, pink and elegant white sweetly scented blooms this time of year.

If you know its just the joy of perennial colour, why not come and pick some of her favourites and we can help you to add a nice container. This Mother’s Day why not spoil her with a gift that will last.

Wishing all the wonderful Mums out there a lovely day this Sunday.

We are open from this Sunday going forward 11am to 4pm.
