Toona

In the middle of the garden centre there is a tree called a Toona sinensis, this always causes a stir with our customers with its attractive spring foliage.
Come and see it for you self, fortunately we even have a few to sell. It prefers a site in full sun and also likes a fertile well drained soil

May Bank holiday

It goes without saying that not all the bank holiday was good weather. Sunday has given us a frost, enough to turn the leaves on may of the plants, thank goodness we put all the tender stock under cover. The Basil however is destroyed.
Today, Monday is so cold it feels more like a march day certainly not conducive to buy bedding plants, oh well there is always next year.
