Plant of the Month – August
August is a time for contemplation and relaxation in the garden, reaping the rewards from all the hard the work completed in spring and summer. It’s a great time to make a note of any changes you would like to make for the following year and also a great time to get some inspiration from other gardens too. Don’t sit back for too long though, as autumn approaches there will be plenty of green fingered jobs to keep you occupied very soon.
Plant of the month – July
July can be hot, dry, sunny and by now most of that spring moisture has left the soil surface and plants are having to find water deeper down. If you have planted anything this year then your plants may need a little extra help to get established so don’t forget to water and feed if necessary too. A thorough soaking is always best as the water permeates deeper into the soil encouraging the roots to follow – the deeper you can encourage those roots to go the less watering you will have to do in the long term.

Plant of the Month – June
June is one of the highlights of the gardening year, so many plants in flower with their foliage still looking vibrant and green. It’s a great time for getting out and getting some fresh inspiration by looking at what others have been up to in their own gardens. Check out The NGS Yellow Book Scheme where you will find some gardens local to you that open their gates for charity.

Plant of the Month – May
Gardens in May should still be full of the lush green growth of Spring with plants sending out fresh green foliage daily. There is plenty of moisture in the ground too which makes it a great time for planting as any new additions will have time to establish well before the heat of the summer. With The Malvern Sping Gardening Show and Chelsea both being held this month it’s also a great time for Gardening Shows too. If you are stuck for inspiration, then I would thoroughly recommend a trip to either where you will find plenty of ideas than can be transported back into your own gardens.
