  • Pruning Roses
    Roses seem to grow and produce flowers for only a few years before becoming exhausted and starting to develop flowers down the lower part of the stem.Pruning is therefore needed to prvent the plant becoming a tangled mass of dying and living wood with inferior blooms.
  • A Pot of Pastel Colours for Summer
    Buck the trend for hot sizzling summer colours and opt for cool pastels instead. Osteospermum There are lots of little osteospermums in garden centres and nurseries in the summer months of May June and heaps of colour choice.I like them because they flower well into autumn and if we have a mild winter they should survive.
  • Bonsai Tree Care
    Watering is fundamental to all plant life.Without water a tree will die, in a bone dry bonsai container a tree will die of thirst as little as 48 hours.That is where most new commers make thier first mistake, more bonsai are killed through panic over watering than any other causes combined. When to Water The first and only rule to learn is this: Water thoroughly but only when a bonsai needs it.
  • Garden Hygiene
    The maxim "prevention is better than cure" applies particularly to gardens Increasingly gardeners are turning away from the chemical control of problems recognising that to rely on chemicals,EG. pesticides and fungicides can create more problems that they cure.Helpful predators may be eradicated along with the pests leading to an even worse problem.
  • Floribunda Roses
    Floribunda roses were created in 1909, the first polyantha/hybrid tea cross, "Gruss an Aachen" latin for "many flowering"
  • Grow Your Own Garden Fruit Trees for Real fruit
    When visiting a supermarket have you never wished you had a few garden fruit trees? Have you ever noticed how purchased fruit these days is bit inconsistent in quality? Sometimes it will be fine, but mostly is tasteless, too hard or too soft. The pears are rock hard, you can push your fingers through the plums, and the peaches start growing mould before they are soft enough to eat.
  • Create a Haven for Butterflies
    Whatever the reason most people enjoy seeing butterflies in their gardens and would welcome more.The good news is that it is not that difficult to add the essential ingredients that attract lots of these beautiful creatures, and keep them happy once they have turned up.
  • Fall Bulbs for Spring Blooms
    Fall bulbs are, naturally, planted in the fall and flower in the spring. Many believe that they should be planted in the early spring, believing that the winter frosts can harm them. In fact nothing could be farther from the truth.
  • Garden Containers, Flower Pots and Planters
    There are many reasons for growing plants in garden containers, flower pots and planters. An obvious one is if you are growing exotic plants that can be placed outdoors in summer in a location that suits each plant, and then taken indoors or into a more shaded spot in the fall and winter.
  • Garden Perennials Provide a Riot of Color
    Garden perennials are popular with many gardeners, though there is a danger that the new gardener will over-plant them as they wait for those already planted to mature. The secret with perennials is patience, and if you want something to add color to your garden while you wait, then plant some annuals for the first year until the perennials really show their true colors
  • Why choose a greenhouse?
    Greenhouses are often thought of as the exclusive preserve of the dedicated gardener. However with greenhouses and frames to suit every pocket and size of garden, there is no need for even the novice gardener to feel daunted by the prospect of installing and running one.
