Welcome to this week's newsletter

It's a great time of year to take stock of the garden to see what has worked well or identify plants that may need moving or areas to tweak. If you need some extra inspiration you can book in for a FREE Mini Design Consultation on Wednesday mornings during October at Ardcarne Garden Centre BOYLE (see below for details).


If you grow your own vegetables or own a polytunnel and want to know what to plant and do now, make sure you come along to a FREE Vegetable Growing Event this Saturday at both our centres (see below).


This is a time of year that we really start to appreciate the beauty of trees as the leaf canopies start colouring or become bejewelled with berries and fruit (like the mountain ash shown above). It's also a great time of year for planting trees - you'll be inspired by our incredible selection of familiar favourites and rare beauties. 

 

Hope to see you soon
