Our British Garden Centres are now full of Spring flowering bulbs, but have you ever wondered where they come from? 🌷
We’ve been visiting one of our incredible bulb suppliers, Taylors Bulbs across the year to document the process of how they grow their award winning daffodils on their farm in Lincolnshire 🤩
Thank you to Taylors Bulbs for letting us behind the scenes! 🥳
We LOVE Mulching and it’s a really easy gardening job to get done in Autumn that is going to have huge benefits to your garden in the long run 🤩
Here’s how to mulch:
🌱Choose your mulch & get as much as your budget will allow. Choose from Farmyard Manure, Soil Improver, Bark chippings or Garden compost
🌱Weed the soil where you are going to apply your mulch
🌱Shovel on your chosen mulch to your beds and borders around your plants without smothering them or damaging lower leaves. A 5cm minimum layer of mulch will work best to suppress weeds.
🌱Use a rake to level out your mulch and distribute it evenly.

Happy September! 🍁
September kicks off the start of Autumn and there is so much to get out and do in your garden this month! 🤩
So here are three gardening jobs you can do now:
🌷Plant Spring flowering bulbs! Fill your pots and borders with bulbs like daffodils, hyacinths & crocus to ensure a colourful display next Spring.
🥔 Lift maincrop potatoes, dry, and store in a cool, dark, ventilated place.
🌿Lift, divide, and replant clumps of perennials.

Conifers are often underrated but here is why we LOVE them:
🌿They are evergreen & are the perfect plants for year round structure.
🌿They aren’t just green! You can find a range of conifers in different colours from blue, silver, and gold.
🌿There is a different size conifer for every garden from dwarf to large specimen varieties.
🌿They can have different functions in your garden from hedges to focal points as topiary.

Want to create the garden border of your dreams? Then a bit of planning goes a long way so here are 8 steps to plan your border:
🪴Get to know your soil - is it heavy clay, sand, chalky, or lovely loam.
☀️Find out which direction your garden faces & how much light it receives.
🌦️Learn about your local climate and how exposed your garden is.
📐Measure your border and decide on its shape & size.
🌸Choose a garden style - cottage garden? Formal planting? A garden for wildlife?
🌱Research & shortlist your border plants. Don’t forget to consider seasonal interest, colours, foliage and flower, and amount of maintenance.
🌷Decide on the positions of these plants in your garden to work out how many plants you’ll need.
🦋Source and purchase your plants from your local British Garden Centre.
