How nice it's been the last week, the grounds started to dry out & the sun has put in a long awaited appearance getting us thinking about planting things again. Spring seems to have been a long time coming this year but we’re starting to see buds swell & bulbs & earlier flowering shrubs beginning to bloom. A lot of us gardeners have been cautious this spring & who wouldn’t be after the atrocious weather of last year but we’re just itching to get out there & at last get the garden ready for a new year. Lets make it a great gardening one – we deserve it!
Last week myself & some of our Plant managers took a trip to see one of our favourite Italian stockists – Unfortunately we didn’t make it to Italy itself but we did manage to get a day in North London at their English nursery to see the best of the stock currently on offer & place some orders to bring a taste of sunny southern Europe into our Plant areas. Look out for larger size ‘specimen’ shrubs, exotic palms & stylish topiary appearing over the next few weeks.
