Well, the world has certainly changed since our last column but the good news is that gardening hasn’t been cancelled and you can still get out and active in your garden! The other good news is that we are still open to the public and still able to help you out with all your gardening requirements. And we have plenty of open spaces, room to move and fresh air so finding your own space isn’t a problem.
Some things have changed of course – social distancing, cashless sales and lots more cleaning and disinfecting of trolleys, baskets and surfaces for us.
If you’re self isolating though we can arrange home delivery, contact-less car park collection and payments over the phone. We’re also happy to take phone or email orders and inquiries to reduce your need to get out and about.
Despite the ongoing situation, its actually a great time to be out in the garden. Fantastic new stock is still arriving with regular deliveries every week.
If you can’t make it in to see us and all the fantastic stock that’s coming in, you can keep up to date with all the latest arrivals by following us on Facebook and Instagram to see what our garden centre has to offer and to find some inspiration and ideas for your garden.
It is a great time to be planting
The combination of warm soils, fine mild weather and rain makes it is ideal time to be planting. Whether it be fruit trees, natives, flowering perennials or Autumn/Winter annuals. Plant now and establish over the cooler months, nice and healthy for next Summer. Fertilise your whole garden now – let the rain get to work in your garden. With a mix of cool weather, some sunshine and some rain, boost plant growth and overall health now by fertilising everything.
