A spotlight on plants
At this time of the year we have a range of plants, they have been raised and cared for by our members and are knowledgeable about the plants that they have raised.
There are shrubs, perennials, annuals and vegetables plants, so something for everyone.
We are often asked for plants that come up every year, you need to look for hardy perennials or shrubs. Generally perennials die down every year, and then come back in the spring, so don't panic, and try to remember where you have planted them - in case you start weeding :) The bees like the flowers of many perennials.
Shrubs need a bit of a prune, more for tidying up than anything complicated, some lose their leaves. By pruning can mean that you can keep the shrub smaller, and generally best to do after flowering, and they are great for birds.
