Plants need water!
Water is an essential and life dependent part of the garden, especially during the drought season.

Be Dazzled by Dahlias!
For amazing drama and colour dahlias are in a class of their own for any location, whether in borders or patio containers.
Vertical Garden Design
When space is tight, planting vertical surfaces offers a great way to add colour to your garden, and even grow some edibles! Think big – vertical interest at eye level gives extra growing space and habitat for pollinators like bees, butterflies and insects, and the overall impression your garden is actually larger!
Side Show!
Bedding plants are invaluable for edging flower borders and pathways. By creatively selecting plants to suit the style of the garden you can design the perfect edging to compliment your flower beds. If the borders are in full sun choose plants that will tolerate the hot, dry seasons.
Landscaping a sloping garden

Get ready to welcome Spring!
Spring has arrived so time to get busy in the garden to ensure your outside space will look its best, as well as providing a bountiful harvest!
Rich Pickings!
To be able to pick your own, fresh, home-grown organic edibles, like herbs, salads and vegetables, is hugely rewarding. However, if space is limited, try to think creatively.
