Autumnal Planting With Jenny

March 23, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

22

Welcome to autumn. With a heartfelt sigh we all can get out in our gardens to beautify our homes and outdoors once again. Don and I, proprietors of Greenparkes Garden Centre, are proud of our design built garden centre which includes wheelchair access and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

You will be spoilt for choice with our multitude of indoor plants & environmentally suited outdoor plants, seeds & seedlings. Whether you’re a green thumb or a novice, Jenny, Jen, Katie, Val and Jack are ready to assist you in all things outdoors. Soil Preparation: At Greenparkes we believe that garden preparation is of paramount importance. The area or hole prepared should always be larger and deeper than you may have prepared. Be wary of
organic matter you may be able to secure for free as this may cause you problems.

The quantity and age of organic matter you add to your planting area should be considered. Soil too rich or hot can burn roots!

Plant Choice: As an independent garden centre we take care that plants available at the time of your visit will be those suited to our climate and the season. New stock is received weekly during autumn, so we encourage regular visits to keep up to date with the latest and most suitable plants, shrubs and trees. See you at Greenparkes!
