Britain in
Bloom is one of the largest horticultural campaigns in
Europe with the year round aim of creating a more
beautiful Britain.
|
The use of bulbs in a garden is
almost paramount to any good display. Bulbous plants provide an
array of displays from formal beds to mixed borders and in
containers or underneath trees. |

Conifers |
| The choice to go organic is a
decision not to be taken lightly but the outcome of your
decision can mean a great many things. A natural garden with no
pesticides, chemicals or control other than what nature provides
us with can be a wonderful thing. |
Conifers provide a
wide range of colours, shapes, sizes and textures and can make
your garden visually attractive all year round.
With such a wide selection to choose from you are sure to find
the perfect type for your garden. |

Alpines
& Rockery Plants |
| Choosing which apple to grow depends
entirely on where it will be planted. Large gardens means you can
choose a variety that will grow very tall and have lots of produce. |
Alpines grow
at high altitudes and are usually very small plants
that are used to growing in extreme temperatures. They
are usually hardy and may be evergreen woody plants,
deciduous or herbaceous. |

is the careful management of change. It is about
revealing and sharing the significance of places,
habitats and wildlife ensuring that their special

Chickens are a great low maintenance easy pet to have in your
garden. They will supply you with eggs that are lovely and fresh
and taste great. All they need is fresh clean water and food. |
