Happy New Year to one and all for this coming year.
January in the garden can be a quiet time but I like to use this month as a month to plan for the future. The seasons can come and go so quickly and sometimes it’s better to do a seasonal planner to stay on top of things.
For the last few weeks of winter have a look through the beds in the garden are you happy with the amount of colour could you do with adding a little bit more colour, like having a perennial bed with Helleborus or would the garden benefit from some more heathers as ground cover.
These are just a few question to be asking as the seasons change. I find it useful to do a monthly diary and keep ideas and notes in for the different months of the year.
If you were thinking of adding a hedge to your site, bare root hedging is still available and it’s an ideal time to plant.
The birds I am sure are keeping you busy filling their container with food to help them over winter and keep some fresh water available in the bird baths .
If you are planning on starting seeds in the springtime get the trays ready and tools you
need .
January is a lovely time of reflection. I enjoy the crisp days. The bulbs are starting to come up in the gardens and the pots. If you want to add some bulbs to your pots we have some available ready to bloom and would make a great addition to your pots and help keep the colour going into spring .
The snowdrops are a sure sign of spring the bluebells and the crocus are another lovely addition. Full range available in store.
Spend time reflecting this week and planning the year in the garden ahead and if you need help with upcoming spring colour call in and see the selection available .
