unwrap the flowers & place them straight into
a vase.

Our highly skilled team of florists produce beautiful designs every day & buy fresh flowers all week. By using temperature controlled storage the flowers will have a long life in your home.

Garden structures and focal points make a garden - leading the eye to near or distant parts, creating a total look. Recent TV programmes have emphasized the use of wood, stones and even copper in the garden. Ornamental stone tubs add character; whether used to frame a doorway as a feature on a patio or dropped into a shrub border.

Have you noticed that small children always want to help when
you are gardening? They can almost become a nuisance, but that
enthusiasm for being with you & doing what you are doing seems to be accompanied by a genuine interest in growing things.
 Being with you & doing what you are doing seems to be accompanied by a genuine interest in growing things. The modern national curriculum includes plant life cycles (growing things), so children are picking up the principles of growing at an early age. Just growing broad beans in blotting paper & a jar hold a fascination for them & any other quick germinating seed will do so.

Try cress on kitchen paper, make a Grass Head using grass seed grown in saw dust inside a section of old tights tied into the shape a head. You can even cut the 'hair'. 
 

Growing plants from seeds is always good fun, oranges & lemons are
easy but you may need a big conservatory to get them to fruit.
Providing a child with their own piece of garden to sow hardy annual
seeds in late April & May is good fun. Giving then their own patio pot
that they plant when you do yours using ready grown summer bedding
plants in late may will extend their activities, & growing a Sunflower
from seed is always rewarding & educational if they measure it regularly,
& plot the results on a graph during the summer. If the flower head is
left to mature the seeds can be fed to the birds in winter. Growing short
carrots in a flower bed will provide 'something to eat' that they can
present to grandma during summer. 

 Planting bulbs in late summer & autumn is fun but patience is needed to wait
for the flowers next spring. A hyacinth in a jar planted in early September is a
classic piece of junior gardening. In November planting an Amaryllis will amaze
them as it produces the tall, fast growing flower spike & massive flowers.
Call it a 'Rocket Plant' to give it a modern feel & get then to plot the growth
on another chart. There have been some good books for Young Gardeners but
due to poor sales they disappear quickly, but the best resource is the monthly
article in BBC Gardeners World Magazine called 'Young Gardeners World'.
Every month simple & fun ideas for children to do, & sometimes eat too.

Have Fun
