Time to enjoy April!
As lockdown eases, we’re making plans to go out, do more and see more! As I write this, there is a feeling of cautious excitement about the summer hanging in the air. And there is the long weekend of Easter coming up to enjoy.
Is your garden guest-ready for all that outdoor entertaining (or just relaxing) we’ve been denied for so long? Don’t panic, as ever, we have a few ideas here …

Viola vision
This time of year, it’s so uplifting to see the cheerful faces of Viola plants. There are some 500 species of Viola in the northern hemisphere in a wide range of lovely colours. They’re ideal for bedding displays, hanging baskets and patio containers.
RHS Hilltop at Wisley
RHS Hilltop – The Home of Gardening Science opens on 24 June at Wisley. Visitors can enjoy interactive exhibits featuring the best of Wisley’s research and world-class collections. You can also take a behind-the-scenes tour and watch as experiments are carried out. All this is surrounded by three gardens that reflect the latest research – The Wellbeing Garden, The Wildlife Garden and The World Food Garden.
Easter outing!
Albury Vineyard is celebrating re-opening at Easter by offering each adult a £5 voucher to redeem against a bottle of sparkling wine to take home. And children can enjoy their Easter-themed trail and chocolate treats.You can even take the dog!
Lounge in style
As the sun puts its hat on and we all head to our gardens to relax and enjoy some rays, we want to be comfy. There are some deluxe sun loungers out there which would make a Greek goddess proud. Take a look at these via House Beautiful … Or how about this snazzy chair and footstool from Notcutts?
Lounge in style
If you’re feeling a little bit rusty in the BBQ skills department, brush up with a quick course with the Weber Grill Academy. Learn to grill, roast and bake on a BBQ at Abinger Cookery School and you’ll be a dab hand in no time!
Bushy Beverage
Cream, mini chocolate eggs and Baileys – conjour up some fave Easter flavours with this Mini Egg Martini from BBC Good Food – Mmmmm!
Until next time!
Now that we’re heading into the warmer months and will (hopefully) be in our gardens, you might be wondering how to improve your outdoor space. Why not take a look at our services and then give us a call to chat through some ideas?
