So you’ve tackled that sunny and dry spot but what about shady settings that can be dry or damp?

Cue display 2! Walk round the other side of our sunny display and you’ll find plants that suit shady situations. Naturally, we’ve produced a leaflet to help further here too: ‘Plants for Shady Places’.😊 ...

Back again this year but nothing to fear!🐜

If you’ve spotted tiny black shiny bugs like these on your flowers recently the chances are they’re Pollen Beetles. Particularly prevalent this time of year, you often find them en masse in the stamen to make the most of all that lovely pollen. Fear not, these are good guys: harmless to your plants and helping with pollination. All the same, you’d probably rather not bring them indoors on cut flowers. Top tip👍: tapping the flower should make them drop off or place flowers inside your shed for a few hours with the door ajar. They’ll soon beetle off to the brighter light outside. ...

Feeling the Phygelius or more the Monarda?

Phygelius (Cape figwort) Funfare Series: trumpet-like flowers that dangle from long stems. Bred for a neat and compact habit.
Monarda (bergamot) Balmy Series: also compact with fragrant foliage and shaggy heads that the bees love to nuzzle into.
Both best in full sun with moist but well drained soil. ...

Following on from our previous post, so what to do with those seedlings?🌻🌻🌻

As you can imagine we’re inundated with these ‘gifts’ because of all the feeders we have so we thought we’d have a little summer fun with the team this year. Seedlings have been transplanted in the potager with everyone looking after one to see who can grow the most sensational sunflower. Day 2 and already tears and tactics have been revealed with our Iain’s being munched🐭 and Tim thinking clever with a cloche! Watch this space...😁 ...

“Best Garden centre ever! My friend and I regularly have a little ladies day out to a Garden centre. Having both bought our own homes in the last couple of years we're always in the look out for inspiration. There is actually too much here in the way of inspiration! And this is now officially our all time favorite! ”

“I’d also like to add that I’ve been extremely impressed by the level of service you’ve provided. I really hadn’t expected you and your colleagues to go to this effort to support a customer. I don’t believe many garden centres would do this, and I certainly know the chains wouldn’t. I’ll definitely be recommending you to everyone I know as a high quality garden centre.”
