JULY has come in the blink of an eye and colour is everywhere.

It’s been such a busy time, watering cleaning plant and deadheading whether its pots, beds or borders you can just loss time out there.

Some useful bits to remember when deadheading; its to take away flowers that are finished and gone off, so snipping them back to a bud ideally or nipping off the heads this encourages new buds and cleaning away any unsightly leaves.

The stacks of the lupin can be cut back as can the Anthurium or the snapdragon as commonly known, same goes for the Digitalis or foxgloves as they are known.

There is lots of bedding colour available and these will go on well into Autumn.

Begonias are very popular for pots and do well over the summer whether it’s the beddings ones or the double they are ones you like to use.

Geraniums are a very hardy bedding plant and lovely in pots too, adding some trailing bacopa or nepeta make a lovely combination.

Herbs and tomatoes are on special offer at the moment 4 for €10.00.

If you were thinking of having a new herb box or adding some more to your kitchen garden lots to choose from.

Gift ideas; we have some lovely concrete Adare piece we have a lovely cottage and lighthouse both can be used as outdoor light up piece to give a glow in the evening .and some beautiful calla lilies at the moment in full bloom so.

A gorgeous Flamingo Salix tree and some lovely baby weeping willow trees.

Bloom wise we have some lovely dahlias, beautiful Salvia if you want height and perennial violas and so much more.

Alliums in full bloom with carnations adding a lovely scent to air.

Lots of ready-made pots and hanging baskets available and they can personalise to such your taste.

If we can help enhance your space and create more beauty for your home call in for a chat.

Happy July! …
