OFF THE BENCH WITH HUTCHY PICKERS

By Calum Haygarth

Landscape Architect & Horticultural Consultant

“And so this is Christmas, and what have we done?… I think it’s a case of what haven’t we done. Another bumper year for the entire nursery with online sales going through the roof especially to New South Wales and Victoria but we are proud of what we have achieved in servicing these customers needs with plants throughout their numerous lockdowns and hopefully bringing a bit of brightness to their gardens and lives. There are numerous health benefits of gardening and this has been experienced across the nation so it’s good to know more and more people have dabbled in and around the homes with budding green thumbs and the return to the new normality has come just in time for spring.

This will be my last In The Garden segment for 2022. Gosh, what a year to reflect on again and it has certainly come around rather too fast for my liking and everyone’s with all the dramas. That said I think the consensus is that we are going to have a bumper Christmas with everyone being allowed to be together and enjoying themselves (fingers crossed) also it has been uplifting for our Victorian shoppers to once again get their Gardenarium fix which has been a joy to see. With the late/ non-existent Spring, and patchy weather ever since, I don’t think the plants know what to do either.

With not too many sleeps left to Christmas it’s time to head down to Gardenarium for their 25–70% off pre-Christmas sale. You can still layby now for Christmas and leave picking up until Christmas Eve if you wish, especially plants and living Christmas trees.

The Old Potting Shed Gift shop within Gardenarium is bursting at the seams with a new collection of glazed indoor pots, sensational garden tools from Burgon and Ball in the UK, wall art of every kind for indoors and out, statues, hanging pots, the list goes on. The farmyard and corrals are full again with an array of pigs, sheep, cows and chooks even meerkats.

The Limestone Coast Advanced Trees part of the company is also as full as ever, even with the strange weather, and we have up to 50% off trees until Christmas Eve, including mop tops and weeping cherries.

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without hydrangeas and we have masses of stunning mature plants in all colours, ranging from intense blue, to purple, red, pinks and whites, as well as the new burgundy foliage varieties adding another dimension to the garden and the beautiful new double pink called Popcorn. These are ideal indoors for a short time, as decorations to your outside entertaining areas or as a Christmas gift.

This year we have increased the numbers of fruit trees in most categories, especially dwarf and semi-dwarf which now outsell full sized trees and these are an ideal gift for anyone wishing to start a new orchard - all 25 % off in the pre-Christmas sale. Cherries and blueberries are popular eating choices over Christmas as well as our recently released dwarf mulberry and, of course, raspberries.

Wollemi Pines are back again after a long drought and are ideal to decorate for Christmas trees for a short time indoors, for outdoors on the patio or to plant in the garden as a living fossil. Along with Norfolk Island Pines, Norway Spruce and Canadian Spuce in our annual range of live Christmas trees which has had two new varieties added for 2022 and available in several sizes.

The gift shop is bursting with ideas for non-gardeners also, with outdoor clocks, china jardinières and pots, terrariums, some intricately made garden art in metal made out of all sorts of old tools and welded together garden art pieces giving unique and interesting one offs like a laser cut Corten steel rusted garden art (see facing page) and windspinners.

Gardenarium is well known for its range of birdhouses and feeders and this year is no exception with three new ranges on offer, some colourful metal and timber birdhouses, dovecotes and, of course, birdbaths, all of which were too many to put on our website www,gardenarium.com.au so you will need to call in and have a look.

Our range of outdoor furniture has been added to this season with the introduction of ceramic outdoor dining tables in natural and grey wood look, along with an expansion to our teak outdoor table ranges with backless benches in two sizes, that are handmade with traditional construction that will last generations, these can also be used on their own in the garden. Our very popular, heavy duty cast aluminium outdoor three piece settings have been popular with a whole new shipment finally after two years of no stock in three colours now available.

Many of the products we sell are from poor, underdeveloped countries and, in particular, the range of driftwood creations we have each year are from pieces of driftwood harvested from the beaches by local villagers in the typhoon hit areas of the Philippines.

Each village is allowed to harvest a certain amount of driftwood thrown up from the typhoons and craft them into the wonderful pieces we sell, from Christmas decorations to spheres, planters and decorative wreathes, and a brand new range of birdhouses in several styles, see website for photos.

I urge everyone to dig deep this Christmas by buying a piece of driftwood artwork or ornaments that will last forever.

Lastly our Coast to Coast Christmas decorations are all reduced beyond our normal discounted prices with beautiful wooden Steiner like elements in the mix and many Christmas tree decorations a little different from what you normally find.

Cast iron boot scrapers are finally back and Sloggers clogs and boots for both men and woman are all $10-$20 off with some up to 50%off and ideal for a Kris Kringle and for everyday wear in this current weather.

Managers and staff at Gardenarium & The Limestone Coast Group of Companies would like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers and readers a very Happy Christmas and relaxing New Year. We will be closing from 4.30pm Christmas Eve until January 7 for a well earned break with our families after what has been a crazy year for our online sales area of the business and here in the nursery and hope you can all wait until then to see us again. Happy Christmas.
