Say that like Ned Starke in Game of Thrones, but in a less depressing tone because ‘whoopi’, it's finally spring again in our part of the world!

After what felt like a long, icy-cold and dark winter, the seasons are finally changing, and we are looking forward to seeing some colour in gardens everywhere. Spring often feels like a rebirthing for our gardens. When it comes time to start planting in your garden, we have a few great ideas, starting with plants that are mildew resistant: • • • • •

Impatiens are a great vibrant colour selection for both shaded and sunny areas in your yard. Use them in hanging baskets or plant them in beds, it’s up you and what feels right for your space. Tip: the closer you plant your impatiens together, the taller and fuller they will grow.
PATIO PLANTS Thinking about filling up your patio with plants? The Abelia Lemon & Lime is an easy growing plant that can survive in full sun & mildly shaded areas. This is a shrub that can make any spot look alive. The Abelia Lemon & Lime is frost hardy and will look stunning on your patio all year long.
PLANTS THAT SMELL GOOD Nothing announces spring like the sweet scent of Jasminum Polyanthum. This is an evergreen climber that is perfect for planting near windows or outside entertainment areas. Its sweet perfume makes this a winning plant for any garden, and it looks amazing all year round. As a suggestion, try planting Jasmine in the arch of your house entrance, this will give a lovely welcome greeting to your guests. Jasminum Polyanthum
