Trowbridge Garden Centre

It’s a beautiful bank holiday morning, we are open…. Make the most of your day

It’s bank holiday gardening weekend…. So we are open as normal for all your gardening needs….
Saturday 8.30am until 5.30pm
Sunday 10.30am until 4.30pm
Monday 8.30am until 5.30pm.
The New Leaf Cafe is also open a normal… ideal for a wholesome breakfast, light lunch or an unrivalled Sunday Lunch!

Don’t tell anyone but finally Toby is happy…… we have more balloons flying out from the garden centre than at BristolBalloon Fiesta. (Get them while stock last, that won’t be long!)

It's action stations for Wisterias!
Now is the time to summer prune for a fantastic display next spring - a really simple task. Cut back the long shoots made this summer to about 30cm / 12 inches. Simple. This encourages the plant's energy to go into the remaining little buds to turn them into fat flower buds for flowering next spring. Then around February give another trim and shorten those shoots back to about 3 buds. Job done.

Alstroemerias, Peruvian lilies are now in stock with their dazzling exotic-looking flowers. They make a dramatic statement in a hot themed border, and also look wonderful when potted up for the patio. Plant more than you need though as the flowers are one of the best for cutting, so you will want some for the vase.

Are you planning to get out & give your grass a good cut?
Lawns don't like intense heat we have been experiencing, especially after a dry spell. Raise the blades of your mower a notch or two to leave the lawn tidy and encourage recovery.
