Time to find those hanging baskets and empty the remnants of last years window boxes. Summer is here despite those heavy showers and now is the time to add a splash of colour to your garden. Nothing could be simpler or more satisfying than watching your window boxes, hanging baskets and pots burst into bloom over the summer months.

So now is the time to get started. Great deals are now available in your local garden centre and supermarkets with all carrying a variety of bedding plants. Petunia, Nemesia and Busy Lizzie are some of the best varieties to plant but don’t be afraid to get advice from your local provider as they will help you choose what’s best for your garden. So get planting!
