  • Spend £60 and Receive a Free Bag of Compost!

    Compost is a key ingredient in any garden. It is a natural fertiliser that provides essential nutrients to your plants, helping them to grow stronger and healthier. Additionally, compost can help improve soil quality by increasing its water retention and improving its texture. This means that your plants will be able to absorb the nutrients they need, resulting in better growth and more bountiful harvests.

    For gardeners looking to stock up on supplies this offer couldn’t come at a better time. Compost is made from organic materials such as food waste and yard clippings, which would otherwise end up in landfill. By using compost in your garden, not only are you reducing waste, but contributing to a more sustainable future.

    The premium compost caters for the needs of all young and mature potted plants. Its unique formulation with organic coir feeds your plants 3 months, whilst providing the optimum structure for the roots to grow strong.

  • Plan Your Summer Colour Spectacular!

    Planting summer bulbs in the spring will ensure a dazzling display of colour for you to sit back and enjoy in the summer months. With a little bit of planning, you will be rewarded with blooms from late spring right through to autumn. If you’d rather keep things simple, choose one type of bulb but stagger the planting times, adding more each month.

    If you’re planting in borders, we recommend planting in groups of at least six for a good display of colour. Most bulbs are happy growing in containers, brightening up even the smallest of outdoor spaces. There’s no set date that’s best for planting summer flowering bulbs but a general rule is once the soil has dried out and the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, you can plant bulbs in containers now but keep them indoors until the weather warms up. Don’t forget to pick up a bulb planter, not only will it make the job easier and cleaner but a bulb planter will also ensure you’re planting each bulb at the correct depth.

    We’ve listed some of our favourite summer flowering bulb categories below, along with their flowering month to make planning your summer colour spectacular a little easier.

    Summer flowering bulbs are available to purchase in-store and online now.

    ROSES FOR POTS AND CONTAINERS 

    Smaller varieties of roses can be grown in pots and some larger varieties will do well too, as long as the pot selected is large enough to allow the roots to develop well. Paired with the right pot, roses can make a stunning display on a patio or balcony. Here are some roses that we would recommend for planting in pots:

    Rosa ‘Sweet Dreams’ (Patio rose)

    This compact variety has glossy leaves with clusters of small double flowers, up to 6cm across. A beautiful rose which will pack a punch and add a pretty edge with its peachy-pink blooms.
