Welcome <<First Name>>,

From what I hear and now the kids are back at school, Summer is finally on its way,! Although we're in for a hot spell, I'm starting to get quite excited about Autumn gardening, as there is much planting to be done! SPRING BULBS, that will delight and inspire, TREES for that spectacular Autumn display, the very important 'holding-the-garden-together' SHRUBS and of course, PERENNIALS and ROSES are all queuing up for their chosen spot.
These wonderful plants also provide us with lots of pretty bouquets when we need them.

I am also feeling quite clever, (because I'm on time), filling my veggie garden with winter brassicas; you know our health-giving friends; cauli, cabbage and broccoli! Important note: put the chocolate Lab in the kennel when you give the veggie garden a good dose of blood and bone!
SPRING BULBS HAVE ARRIVED!!
The first big seasonal change is always marked by the arrival of the Spring Bulbs. There's nothing more welcoming than a container of bulbs in full bloom to celebrate the end of winter! Also, drifts of flowering bulbs are so nice to chance upon when out for a walk in the garden. Get organised and get planting for now's the time!

Big drifts of Hydrangea blooms are a great way of creating an easy-care garden and they also work well in containers. For a larger area under trees, they are marvellous when mass- planted or can form a show-stopping avenue for shady, woodland paths.
