The Ornamental Garden & The Christmas Lawn
The Ornamental Garden
- Water as a feature - the hotter it gets, the more we appreciate water outdoors. Birdbaths, bowls of water lilies or other aquatic plants are an easy way to enjoy water in the garden. Plus, keep water bowls topped up for the pets!
- Red is traditionally the Christmas flower but any garden looks great with hot shades of pink, orange and coral - colours found in fast-growing geraniums, petunias and impatiens
- Deadhead roses, give lavender flowers a trim and cut back spring flowering shrubs - there's an instant summer garden makeover!
The Christmas Lawn
A wet spring generally favours lawns and leaves them looking lush. But if your lawn tends to go from boggy to hard-baked clay in summer, now is the time to apply Prolawn's Aquaturf G. It's a safe, natural wetting agent that, when applied to lawns, will help cure problems of dry patches that develop through a hot summer.
