June: Jubilee Celebrations
Hi,
This June is a time for celebrations as it marks Her Majesty The Queen becoming the first British Monarch to celebrate 70 years of service. Up and down the country there are many events planned, from garden parties to the Party at the Palace.
Throw your own party by gathering together friends and family, setting up the barbecue, having a few refreshing summer drinks and getting involved in fun sports day.
Get your garden ready for the event by looking after your lawn and planting up some of my top plants for June.
From 20th June, it’s Rose Awareness Week where I’ll be sharing the beauty of one of the most popular plants in the world. I’ll be giving my top tips on how to grow the best roses.
Happy gardening!
David
Gardening tip of the month
During the spring and summer seasons when many plants are flourishing, some may need some added support.
Wigwams can be constructed out of bamboo canes in a triangular or square shape and fixed together at the top using twine. These are great for growing climbing beans or sweet peas.
Metal wires are a useful framework for training trees or climbing roses. They can be fitted against walls or fixed between posts to aid growing. The material means you can’t always see them too.
Trellises can be bought from the garden centre or be made. They are great for growing any climbing plant, and are useful for creating division in the garden for different sections of the space.
Tree ties may be necessary to give support to protect from wind rock. In this case, staking a tree with single stakes or multiple posts and tying with tree ties will provide a helping hand.
