Awake the Senses With A Perfume Packed Garden

April 24th, 2011

A garden planted with eye catching foliage or boldly coloured flowers is a sight to behold, but can often be disappointingly scent-free so awake your sense of smell and create a perfume-packed garden.

 

Buying fragrant plants for your borders and using them as container plants will create a sensuous area which will not only be popular with you but the bees and butterflies will also love your scented plants. There is nothing more lovely than to breathe in when stepping out into your garden and experience the wonderful scents of a well planned and planted garden.

 

There are lovely summer flowering perennials that will certainly stimulate everyone’s sense of smell such as clove scented pinks, lupins, lemon verbena and bedding plants like wall flowers, just perfect for your borders. Line your paths with lavender plants, there is a stunning variety of English lavender which gives a wonderful display of large lilac flowers over long slender silver green stems, which will fill the air with its strong scent and, more importantly, it is fantastic for attracting bees and other beneficial insects.

 

Surround your patios with fragrances in plants such as the moon flower which opens at night and fills the air with the most beautiful fragrance. Many will choose old favourites such as wisteria and jasmine as the heady perfumes will please all on a summer evening.

 

Bedding plants will provide scent and colour so fill hanging baskets and window boxes with petunias, stock, nemesia, marigolds and, to add that beautiful touch, trailing snapdragons. A hanging basket bursting with flowers will always give the garden a ‘wow’ factor, and the most popular plant for hanging baskets is the Busy Lizzie, this beautiful plant is so versatile and is perfect added to all areas of your garden, the vibrant flowers have wonderful shades of colour and will bloom throughout Summer and well into the Autumn.

 

Thinking about sight and smell in your garden there are plenty of plants to choose from such as lilac, honeysuckle, climbing roses, stocks and a whole host more. When planning your garden you will need to find an outlet that can supply you with everything from a packet of garden seeds, garden bulbs, shrubs, perennial plants, vegetable plants, right through to trees.

 

A spokesman for Blooming Direct, a nursery located on the beautiful floral island of Jersey said “a lot of people will go to a garden centre and be ‘blinded’ by colour and do some impulse buying. We are an online facility where people can go to our website and browse at what is on offer. Our site offers very precise details of plants and all our plants come as plug plants which are grown from seed on our own nursery, picked at their optimum time and sent direct to your door. We have many offers and depending on what you spend, there will be a FREE tray of plug plants, also FREE delivery on all orders to the UK”.

 

Awake your senses and plant a garden that will give you colour, beauty, and a perfume packed garden.

Enjoyment For All

February 21st, 2011

Gardening is a hobby for all ages, everyone has their own preferences, and thus no two gardens are alike.  A garden is like a blank canvas just waiting for someone’s passion to take the space and transform it into a vision of beauty.

It does not matter where you live, even an apartment block will give a keen gardener scope to grow, plants, creating artistic displays using plants for containers, or the use of garden bulbs or bedding plants for a beautiful hanging basket, and exciting ideas for a window box purchasing garden seeds, and use the ‘throw in and see’ method, and wait with anticipation to see how the box turns out.

An ardent gardener may also acquire an allotment from a local authority in addition to their own garden, and plant vegetable plants to consume, or sometimes even enter competitions. Gardening is indeed a hobby that is healthy and brings enjoyment to young and not so young, in fact introducing children to gardening, it very often becomes a hobby for life, furthermore a recent study by the Royal Horticultural Society found that gardening can ‘make children happier’ with additional positive effects such as increased resilience, increased confidence, and more importantly encourages the children to lead healthier lives.

In the early nineteenth century the term Kindergarten was coined, and the direct translation of this term is ‘Children’s Garden’ this idea was to provide an environment is which children could develop by experiencing situations, outside, thus children were introduced to gardening, they love to grow something, either in a pot or scattering some garden seeds, or even plant their own little vegetable patch.

If you are foolish enough to thing gardening is a retirement hobby, you would be so wrong, a huge amount of young people are coming forward to sigh up for an education in horticulture, and specialists colleges are reporting a 25% increase in demand from 16 to 18 year olds for courses, a guess as to why this is happening is the result of the economic downturn, we all know no job is safe, but horticulture seems to be a good bet, after all garden plants, shrubs, and trees need year-round care, and figures show a definite growth in popularity for horticulture amongst young people.

A spokesman for Blooming Direct said “we are a family-run horticultural business based on the beautiful floral island of Jersey, and of course gardening is definitely enjoyed by all age groups, we pride ourselves on quality, and every gardener wants different things, some look for jumbo plug plants, to give the garden a head start, others want an easy life with shrubs and perennial plants, we go that extra mile to give the customers exactly what they want”.

The process involves running a machine across the customer’s lawn in order to “plug” out the soil about 1.5 inches deep and about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. The “cores” are then left on the surface of the lawn to dry out and later while mowing they are crushed and the soil gets mixed into the thatch layer. This helps in the addition of microorganisms to the thatch layer allowing it to decompose. The aeration service offered by noon allows air, water and other nutrients to reach the root zone. It also helps in stimulating new growth, improving drainage and providing a better environment for over-seeding.

Lawn care maintenance and tips: For a greener and healthier lawn

September 3rd, 2009

With proper lawn care maintenance, the home owners and property owners can keep their lawn in a lush, green and healthy condition. A healthy lawn and garden will increases the value of your property.

For maintaining a great looking lawn, homeowners and property owners must provide consistent care. Performing the right task at right time can be the secret to a healthy lawn and garden.

Consider the following steps to maintain your lawn and garden:

1. Water the lawn deeply once a week when dry conditions prevail, with at least 2 inches of water.

2. Proper fertilizing. It is recommended to apply fertilizers in late summer or the early fall but they can also be done in early spring and winter.

3. Make sure you evenly apply lawn fertilizers to achieve a uniform green lawn.

4. Make sure your fertilization includes the three main nutrients that work to keep it attractive and healthy. These nutrients are:

5. Nitrogen to maintain a dark green color, thick turf and a strong lead and blade.

6. Phosphorus for a healthy root and to promote long life of plants

7. Potassium to help keep the plant strong and resistant to wear, drought and cold winters.

8. To determine the amount of nutrients needed by your lawn, test the soil. Problem soil may have a pH imbalance. Ask your garden centre where you can purchase a soil test kit to check. Hiring a lawn care service is also an option.

9. Control weeds by pulling them out by hand when the soil is moist for easy removal and to get as much of their root as possible.

10.Raise your mower height and keep your lawn between 6 and 8 cm high (2.5 to 3 inches) Dull and damaged mower blades should kept sharpened.

11.Mow your lawn in different directions and leave your lawn clippings on the lawn after you mow — they make an ideal (and free) fertilizer

12.Wash away small colonies of pests on trees or shrubs before they infest your gardens.

It is important to remember lawn care and lawn maintenance may vary from day to day. Be sure to observe your landscape conditions daily. No matter the time of year, you can follow efficient lawn care and maintenance tips
to make your lawn greener and healthier.
