Shovels at the ready this National Gardening Week!
We’re right in the middle of this
year’s National Gardening Week, the country’s biggest celebration of gardening.
Gardening Week was first celebrated eight years ago and has grown in popularity
ever since, aiming to raise awareness of how gardens and green spaces can have
a positive impact on individuals and communities.
In this week’s blog post, we’ll be
taking you through some of our top tips for getting your garden summer-ready.
- When it comes to fertiliser, choose
one with a slow-release; this means that your flowerbeds will have a steady
supply of energy over summer.
- Before you get started, check your
garden tools and make sure they’re in good shape.
- Mow the lawn now! Mowing when the
weather is too hot can stress your lawn, and the same goes for watering plants
– much of the water tends to evaporate. The best time to water plants is in the
morning, allowing the water to run down into the soil.
- Think green! We’re always looking
for ways to be greener at Creamline, and the garden is no exception. Look for
recycled materials and garden accessories made from recycled wood and plastic.
Bamboo is said to be especially environmentally friendly!
- Feed your wildlife. During spring
and summer, birds need high protein foods as they lose energy through moulting
and build up their fat reserves before winter.
