DECEMBER brings lovely crispy  cold weather and the gives a  unique look to the garden.

The birds are out on the lookout  for food and water so a reminder to  break the ice, so they have access  to water. If you’re an early riser like  me, I love the free concert from the  birds in the morning.

So, December is really a month  just to check see if everything  is secure in the garden from the  wind, check plants after the storms  and pots. The wind can dislodge plants and pots easily, I usually cluster  them around a hedge or close  to a shed.

A Christmas tree is such a lovely  addition to our homes this time of  year and the range available are  fab from small 4 foot ones to 8 foot  depending on the size of the room available. The smell alone is just  lovely.

With Christmas around the corner, it is nice to do up the pots at  the front door. And most love to  hang Christmas wreath the smell  of it is fabulous. There are so  many types of wreaths to choose  from.

It’s a busy time for people looking for gift and a lovely colourful  filled planter is a favourite gift to  receive we have fresh ones made up. Hampers of bird’s food available as well as lovely Christmas arrangements, we have something to suit everyone and love to  help personalise them.

We continue to fill pots for graves  of loved ones this time of year and  ad a touch of the upcoming spring to them with daffodil bulbs and hyacinth bulbs.

Lovely heathers and red berry skimma with some colourful cyclamen and primroses. So, if you need help choosing that perfect gift for someone call in and  let us see how we can help you  choose that perfect gift.

We are also taking orders for  graves wreath so feel free to pre  order. Hope you are all starting to  feel the festive spirit.
