Celebrate the season with gifts and gardens inspired by nature. Our planting features British natives and cultivars which combine the double gifts of beauty for us, plus food and shelter for wildlife.

Grow plants in naturalistic layers to provide aesthetic interest, improve wildlife habitats, increase food production potential and maximise leaf surface area for carbon uptake!

Summer is all about being outside with friends and family, so we’re celebrating ‘Togetherness’ in the Feel Good Gardens this July and August.

This month’s theme- the Expectation Garden, hopes to see our gardens flourish as the weather warms up.

 

Winter is almost here and it’s time for us to focus on birds and wildlife in the November Feel Good Gardens!

 

After an abundance of food throughout the summer, our feathered friends could do with a helping hand throughout the winter months. So whilst it might be too cold to sit in the garden, you can enjoy watching the wildlife from the comfort and warmth of your home.

Our Feel Good Gardens can be found in all four of our centres – find your local one here!

 

Jon has chosen some berried treasures such as Pyracantha ‘Saphyr Rouge’ and Skimmia japonica ‘Pabella’. Not only will these provide food for the birds, they also add colour in the garden. Take a look at Jon’s plant picks below!

Andy has selected a range of feeding stations, along with an attractive hedgehog house so your garden animals can hibernate in style. Finish off the ‘Birds & Wildlife’ look with these beautiful accessories that create great focal points in the garden. All of these items are available to purchase in-store and online.

Don’t forget, we change the feel good garden themes every month! You can view the display gardens in all our four garden centres across Kent and Sussex. Find your local one here.

As Autumn settles in, we’re taking time out to reflect in the October Feel Good Garden.

 

Although the temperature has dropped, take the opportunity to pop outside when you can, perhaps to read a few pages of your favourite book, or to enjoy a freshly brewed coffee.

When evening comes, grab a blanket and make memories toasting marshmallows around the firepit with friends and family. Our Feel Good Gardens can be found in all four of our centres – find your local one here!
