Careful Caravanning this Summer... If you’re looking to take to the open road and planning a break somewhere in the UK during the Summer holidays, there can’t be a nicer way of combining luxury and the fun of camping than caravanning. Towing your home for the week can be plain sailing, even for a novice, so long as you stick to the legal requirements and follow a few simple guidelines. Your first choice for information - on towing, choosing a caravan and campsite – is from the Caravan Club http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/ As you’ll see from their site, there are several rules to be adhered to when towing – the most important one is determined by when you passed your driving test.
If you want to try before you buy, hiring a caravan or motorhome might be a good way to get started on your caravanning adventure! Central Leisure, in Greatworth, can help you with all this and more... see page 15 The best tips & hints to help you can be gained from family & friends who love caravanning, so ask away before you take the plunge – and remember: a sense of humour is essential, as is being prepared.
Have a fabulous holiday!
• If you passed your car licence before 1st January 1997, you can tow pretty much any caravan you choose, up to 8.25 tonnes combined with the towcar. • If you passed after 1st January 1997, you can tow a caravan up to 750kg – if you want to tow anything heavier, as the vast majority of caravans are, take a look at the relevant page on the Direct.gov website: https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car/drivinglicence-rules-and-what-you-can-tow

Children’s bedroom safety tips.....
If you’re moving house over the Summer, or the light evenings and balmy weather have inspired you to do a touch of redecorating in your children’s bedrooms, safety is an important consideration. We all know when our children are first born, that we have to keep them away from dangers all around the home, but there are many everyday scenarios that could put an older child at risk. • A bed or sofa placed underneath a window could lead to adventurous pre-teens falling from a great height, so fit window locks and be sure the keys are easily accessible to adults, in case of fire. • Radiators beside beds can lead to overheating, an exacerbation of allergies caused by house dust mites, or even minor burns to the skin. Move the bed away from heat sources and fit thermostatic radiator valves, so that the temperature in the room can be controlled. Cont page 21...

Your plumber or heating engineer can assist you with this. • Cords on blinds or light switches can present a hazard, especially when children are younger. Make sure all pull cords are looped up out of harm’s way. • Bunk beds are great fun, but children under the age of six or seven are just too young to safely climb up & down ladders when they’re hardly awake – a lower level divan or cabin bed is safer if you have the space. • Plug socket covers are vital in young children’s rooms, and check little details like sharp corners on desks or other furniture. • Secure tall bookcases to the wall, just in case your child decides to climb the shelves and the whole thing topples over….. Kids love colours & adventure, so with a few steps to keep them safe, you can let their imaginations run riot and create a bedroom that you are all delighted with!

The Garden in August Written by Chris Day Buckingham Garden Centre 01280 822133
Creating the best look for free! Oh, the jolly month of August and with it a proliferation of “Open Gardens” signs offering gardeners a grand opportunity to be right nosey! Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day encourages us to do some garden snooping with the prospect of colourful rewards at the end. The National Garden Scheme is one of the simplest and relatively inexpensive delights for many of us interested in gardening and its one of the best ways to find out what grows well in your immediate area, perfect if you are unsure of the soil type or local preferences. However, I have to admit one of the main reasons I like to wander around local gardens is to see the how people place their plants together. Yes, I know we can do this at big shows like RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court, but these are created for a specific time slot

rather than for the overall look of an established garden. So, if you like to gain inspiration from the great plant designers at gardens such as Sissinghurst or Hidcote (both National Trust Gardens and well worth visiting), do please also spare some time browsing in gardens on your doorstep and you won’t be disappointed. Take your note book, a camera or use your phone camera, seeking the necessary permission naturally before you do. From my experience, taking photographs is one of the greatest compliments you can make, especially if you briefly mention you are looking for heaps of inspiration and you wish to capture it digitally! You can also look for these stunning eye-catching plant groups from magazines, by cutting them out and using them as a reminder for later plantings. The next step is to put what you have seen and recorded into practise. By far the easiest way of creating good plant associations is to choose and METAL

plant them in threes. Select three contrasting plant shapes; one tallish or fairly upright plant, one roundish, bushy shape, and one creeping or low-spreading plant. This recipe works well for all sorts of plant groupings, with shrubs and groundcover plants, roses and perennials, or even alpines for a rock feature or sink garden. Choose contrasting flower shapes; one daisy-like; one with flowers dotted along upright spikes and one with lots of tiny, frothy "filler" flowers. This recipe works best in a colourful, herbaceous border or a very flowery mixed border, but you can also apply it to container schemes for patios.

The same principle applies with leaves; choosing one feathery shape, one grassy shape and one dome shape for a foliage effect. Or choose one upright, stemmy plant, one striking, large-leaved specimen and a short, small-leaved spreader for an architectural association. It's not difficult to choose three plants that go together (it's much easier than trying to plan a whole border all at once), and when you've created one trio, you can go on to make more, then put them all together to fill the space.

look together before you commit yourself to buying. If you are choosing one or two plants to team with something that's already growing at home, find an example in a pot at the nursery (if they don't have one, look for something else that's roughly the same shape or colour) and stand the possible purchases next to it to judge the overall effect. Once at home, do experiment by placing a new plant, still in its pot, in several possible planting positions for a few days at a time so you can judge the effect from all angles and at all times of day - or take photos of all the alternative places to compare side by side. Remember it’s worth taking the time at this point to ensure you have created
Page 24
the best look. Although this seems pretty straightforward, the plants you have selected must be compatible with one another. So, before you buy, check they are equally suitable as far as soil and location. They must like their home and be happy to share the same amount of sun or shade, soil type, pH and moisture levels. Double checking the labels for this information as well as making sure the plants eventual heights don’t cause issues later and you don't team rampant-growing plants with fussy, delicate, slow-growing treasures. However, if you are unsure, do check with the Plants Team at the Garden Centre, sometimes tweaking the odd variety is all that is required to create that “wow” look!

TOP TIP
Many gardeners have their own palette of specific filler plants; these are plants that may appear randomly (set in between existing plants) or by design to add useful splashes of colour in spring and early summer. Plants in this grouping include Aquilegia, Digitalis (Foxgloves), Myosotis (Forget-Me-Nots) and Lunaria annua (Honesty) to name just a few. Well, now is the time to get these sown and grown on for planting in their final planting locations in October. For speed and efficiency, sow a 24

WIN! A Buckingham Garden Centre Gift Voucher worth £25! Here’s a great opportunity to create your own plant association planting and add some late summer colour to your garden! Simply answer the question below and the first two entries drawn out of the hat will win a Buckingham Garden Centre Gift Voucher. To enter, simply answer the following question: Which famous garden is named after a popular summer flowering sub-shrub?
A: Loddon pinch of seed directly into each cell – the plastic trays contain 20 or 40 cells.
B: Helmsdale C. Hidcote Pop your answer A, B or C together with your name and address to: competition@buckingham-nurseries.co.uk Or by post to: Buckingham Garden Centre, Tingewick Road, Buckingham MK18 4AE
Use some well-sieved multi-purpose compost to start them off and lightly cover the seeds. Germination should take around 7-10 days and you can grow the plants on outdoors in a sunny but sheltered part of the garden. Once they have made sturdy young plants, around 10cm (2in) high, they can be planted directly out where they are to flower next year.
