Welcome to year 2012, where we are just weeks away from the spectacular show that is 'Spring'. The Helleborus orientalis picture above should be enough to drag you out of the winter blues and get you in the mood for gardening. As a matter of interest, this photo was taken a 27th January - growing in the open ground and not is a sheltered position. Don't they just love it!

Gardening is no less popular now than it was ten years ago. What is certain, is that gardening for most folks has changed. The changes have come about in the main by a changing lifestyle - often with fewer hours to spend on gardening, and of course because of the television coverage of all manner of gardening events and subjects.

Gardening is going from strength to strength, and is a great hobby to have - especially in these increasingly busy times. There is nothing quite so satisfying as starting your plants off and seeing them reach maturity - giving you a show of colour in what is becoming a stressful life. Take time out for your garden. Your life will be fuller for it!

Seasonal Tasks

Pruning. As we now start the run in to the autumn months, many gardeners turn their thought to pruning shrubs. Autumn is not always the best time to prune. In fact it is rarely the best time to prune. A quick guide on when to prune shrubs can be found within our pruning section. This will go a long way to help you make the right decisions.

Our ever growing section about shrubs, will prove to be an valuable guide for those wishing to plant shrubs at the best time of the year - Autumn. Or maybe just to mull over the choices to get your order in quick for some choice varieties for spring delivery.

Bulbs in the Garden.  Our new section about bulb care and planting is an important guide for this time of year. You will also be interested to see the calendar of bulb flowering times that will enable you to have bulbs in flower in your garden for every month in the year! Yes, it really is possible, by including all manner of bulbs, tubers, rhizomes and corms.

Our target and mission statement if you like, is to keep ahead of the changes and bring them to you on this website. We have many new feature sections in the pipeline and as always - we will keep it seasonal. If you think that we are not covering your own particular subject - or problems maybe - then tell us here. We listen. We want to make this your site for gardening advice and information.
