April Shrubery Update

Shrubery update:

Well this is the second time i am writing this in sunny dry weather, Long may it continue.

We are well stocked in the department and everything is looking really well, as it should be at this time of year.

As i have said in my past updates if you need any help when you are on the garden centre please ask for either Ian or Stephen.

You will notice this time of year we have a large amount of mature stock and if you see some thing you require but we do not have enough stock we can normally order some more of the stock within a week.

A good percentage of plants in general are bought on impulse but spend a little more time looking at our range in general for something a little diffrent.

lets hope the weather gets a little more conistent so we can spend more time in our gardens.

On a final note the team in the shrubery department with you a happy easter and happy gardening.

Ian

Grdening Jobs For June

by paul • 3 June 2026

• Continue planting up pots, baskets & borders with bedding plants water regularly to help them establish. • Tie in new stems of climbing and rambling roses to supports. • Pinch outshoots on fuchsias to encourage bushier growth. • Start feeding containers and baskets with a liquid feed every few weeks. • Start to pick sweet pea flowers as this will encourage more flowers. • Use soft ties to tie in new clematis shoots. • Stake perennials like hollyhocks & Delphiniums to prevent damage in the wind. • Dead head repeat flowering roses. • Give wisteria its summer prune cutting all the long side shoots back to 20cm, to promote flowering for next spring. • Dot a few French marigolds around tomato plants - these strongly scented flowers will help deter insect pests. • Keep the surface of ponds clean by removing floating weeds. Use a net to scoop out mats of tiny-leaved duck weed and twirl hair-like blanket weed from the surface with a stick or garden cane – before putting on the compost heap, leave on the edge of the pond overnight so any aquatic creatures can crawl back into the water.
