We would like to introduce to you our new gardening team!
A very warm welcome to Laura our new Head Gardener. Laura is an RHS qualified, very experienced gardener who has come to join us and lead our gardening team. Laura has run her own successful gardening business and brings a multitude of skills and talent with her.

Nikki has come to us from the Pub industry. She is very keen gardener and is currently redeveloping her own garden.

There is always a member of the gardening team around the garden for you to ask any garden related questions and there will be a gardener every Sunday on the plant stall to advise on all the plants, trees and shrubs for sale.

Jobs for the garden this month
By the Head Gardener
March
We are starting to really enjoy the lighter days here at the Walled garden. The sun has some heat in it and the plants are beginning to show signs of springing into life.
Our bulbs are well up in the borders and beginning to flower and the wildlife are getting their first taste of Spring nectar.
Sowing seeds for the garden is one of our jobs at the minute in our propagators. All our Sweet peas, Tomatoes and perennials.
Busying ourselves with cleaning and tidying our poly tunnels and filling them with plants to grow on ready for next month.
We have put in a new border at the back of the garden near our wedding venue which is going to showcase purple planting and we have extended our wedding isle to allow for more romantic planting.
The plant market is beginning to fill up with new plants and trees. A great variety, perfect for anyone who needs to fill any gaps or re design.
It’s the perfect time for pruning Roses at the moment, before all the new growth gets too big. Remember to feed them afterwards is also beneficial.
Its time to feed all the borders here at Walled garden to give the plants a boost as they begin to put on their new growth.
You can deadhead your Spring bulbs as they finish flowering now too as this stops all the energy going into the seed heads rather than back into the bulb for next year.
Happy gardening!
