Keep your windowsill gazing interesting by planting conifers and winter foliage. A winter garden can still be enjoyed with the right plants.

Evergreens will give you year-round interest and keep your garden looking fresh. Add pops of colour with Skimmia, Verbena, Rhodanthemum, and Hellebores.

Jazz up your home office with our recommended houseplants https://bit.ly/38lb4SW. You don't need to have a boring space when they're plenty of plants to bring it to life.

Calling all those who are homeschooling!

With slightly warmer weather this week, what are you doing to get your children out in the garden?

Hannah’s (Communications & HR Director) daughter feels very responsible when given the job of cutting back shrubs with a pair of secateurs. Hannah may need to come back and trim the tops!! Her daughter has also been tidying up her sandpit garden.
