Spring out of the house and into the garden

Spring is in the air, and there’s no better time to start planning and planting displays for you to enjoy.

As we move from winter to spring, there is no better time to get your garden filled with bulbs, flower beds and seasonal beddings to add some bright colours into the garden. Choose plants at their best through spring including daffodils, tulips, fragrant hyacinth and other flowering bulbs, all perfect for partnering in patio pots and seasonal bedding like a pansy, viola, wallflower and more. Crops and herbs from seed are also a great, rewarding way to grow.

Gardening is also a great way to exercise, with just once hour of active gardening you could burn between 200-500 calories with general stretching and bending. Planting and weeding help you keep fit and flexible. Planting your own veg is the ideal way to get ahead by getting your Christmas vegetables ready in time and also a great way to include vegetables into your diet.

So, spring into action and get your garden in shape for the year ahead and to have the perfect garden for your winter veg!
