JUNE blooms are in everyone’s garden and now it’s time to enjoy and keep the plants happy by deadheading and regular feeding of your plants.

We also have a very important day this Sunday. June 15 is Father’s Day, a day to celebrate our role models and show our appreciation. As always, we can personalise gifts and we have a selection of planters made up ready for collection.

Some other ideas for you are Acer Trees. We have a lovely selection of sizes in stock and they can be dressed up in a nice ceramic pot to make a lovely gift. You could also get a trough or pot full of perennials that come back each year and just give a great show of colour.

Or maybe the father in your life would like a beautiful Adare Stone Lighthouse that can be lit up at night with a candle and give a lovely glow and is a stunning piece to add to any garden. The Adare stone Owl is a hoot, again a beautiful addition to the garden.

Roses always make a stunning gift idea from the selection of climbing roses to the many varieties of Hybrid teas like Arthur Bell. Red roses are always a favourite and the Trumpeter is a popular one.

With lots to choose from and lots of ideas on our Facebook page, call in and we can help you choose the perfect gift.

A little reminder to continue checking perennials and deadheading. Some of the long flowering ones like Astilbe are starting to open and some of the daisy-like flowers like the Helenium’s are just starting to open. These are great to show colour well into the autumn.

When doing beds, borders or pots, it’s nice to add something different like a grass that can give you a flowing effect. The cordylines are another lovely feature piece and they come in some striking colours like reds and Charlie Boy is a lovely pink one. Sometimes leaf colour can be as important.

The Heuchera are another shrub with lots of colour, mainly bought to add wines or reds to an area. The contrast is quite nice, so there are always ways to add a pop to enhance an area and give it that pop effect.

Now also this week we are having our summer sale. This weekend from Thursday to Sunday we have 20% off all our trees and shrub and our selection of perennials. So, if you have an area that you wanted to add a few more bits, why not pop in and see what’s on offer.

THIS WEEKEND ONLY — SUMMER SALE 20% OFF
