Trees for a small space

Having a small garden doesn’t rule out being able to plant a tree, there are plenty suitable for a limited space, even on a balcony or small patio.

Houseplant of the Week

A Bonsai tree makes a very interesting and attractive conversation piece. They offer a wonderful hobby and can be a great stress reliever. Bonsai can even help purify the air in your home. There are several types you can choose from, so if you need any help ask a member of the team.

They're easy to care for so get started by reading our 'How to'? Care for your Bonsai guide https://bit.ly/3ssMuqs

Create your own hedging with bare root. We still have some available to purchase, this is a cheaper alternative to pot-grown.

Choose from Wild Cherry, Dogwood, Willow, Blackthorn, Hornbeam, Hawthorn and many more. They’re easy to transport – with no pot or soil you can fit a lot more in your vehicle.

Now, more than ever, we see the joy and therapeutic benefits that gardening can bring to people’s lives.

This year, we are delighted to support two charities and a community interest company who use gardens and gardening to help vulnerable groups, including refugees, the unemployed, adults with mental health issues and children. They are Together We Grow (based in Highwoods, Colchester), Abberton Rural Training (based in Halstead and Wormingford) and Greenfingers Charity.

For more information on these charities and how we will be helping them, please see https://www.perrywood.co.uk/supporting-the-community/

Sweet Peas are perfect for picking and come in numerous colours. Plant in pots or borders near your seated area to smell their fragrant blooms. You can train them using a frame to create a floral display or pick from the garden and use indoors.

Many of us can't wait to enjoy the sunshine again and what better way than to lounge on a new furniture set. Take in the wonders of your garden whilst you're alfresco dining. Watch the birds fly onto your bird feeders or listen to the bees nestling in for nectar.

We can't guarantee a reliable supply this year so if you need a new set don’t delay! Look out for our new online catalogue coming soon.

Houseplant of the Week

On-trend with their patterned leaves, Calathea will look amazing in your home. With dozens of different varieties available, it is a must-have to add to your houseplant collection.

With some varieties being slightly fussier than others they require a position away from draughts and direct sunlight. They thrive on consistent care and enjoy high humidity. Keep the soil moist, but never sitting in water, and allow to dry slightly between watering.
