Colour your life in June

Summer’s really here, and your garden is the best place to enjoy it. Trees and shrubs are covered in leaves, flowers and plants are flowering profusely and the roses bring colour, shape and beautiful fragrance. Butterflies and birds relish all the delicacies that the garden has to offer them.

Outdoor living

This is the time to get into outdoor living – with friends or family round for lunch or supper outside, or enjoying a cup of coffee in a sunny corner whilst your children play on the lawn.

A gardening gift for Dad

• Don’t forget Father’s Day in June! 
• What about treating him to a new tree or attractive shrub to add to the garden or go shopping for a useful gardening tool? At this time of year there is plenty to prune and dig in the garden!
• Weeds grow fast in June! If you trim your hedging plants now, they will enjoy a second period of growth.

Still time for planting

Nature is flowering profusely now, but there is still time for planting: what about some stunning pot-grown roses. Summer flowers are blooming even faster now than they did in May. Do you fancy creating a new border? Dream up some good combinations and take your shopping list to the garden centre. At the end of the day you will have added a new area to your garden.
