GARDENING
new crops of plants, many varieties
of alpines, ideal for sandy soil and
reliable with lovely dainty flowers.
Perennials, hardy “cottage garden
plants” including old favourites, such
as lupins, aquilegia, delphiniums,
foxgloves and so many more. Fresh pot
grown herbs arrive each week along
with our shrubs and climbing plants.
Growing your own fresh vegetables
from the garden is still very popular.
Many vegetables can be grown from
seeds sown directly into the soil which
includes carrots, peas, beetroot, spring
onions and spinach. We also will have
a good selection of young vegetable
plants, tomatoes, cucumbers, marrow
and courgettes as well as peppers,
melons and runner beans.
New this year we have our own
allotment on site and each Thursday
afternoon between 2.0pm and 3.0pm
you can join us at The Garden Centre
for “Grow with the Governor”, for
helpful tips and practical advice on
growing your own. See you there!
