The weather has taken its toll and things are looking a little messy. In this situation, it’s often best to clear the mind and get a fresh start before tackling all the spring garden duties. That’s why The Directory Group has made your to-do list for you, to help your garden ‘spring clean’ be as effective as possible before things get serious:

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

Ovarian cancer is the UK’s deadliest gynaecological disease, but many women are unaware of the symptoms. The charity, Target Ovarian Cancer says that the earlier a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer the more likely she will respond to treatment.

However, most women are diagnosed once the disease has already spread.

This Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, The Directory Group are urging readers to join forces to make sure that more women are diagnosed earlier to help save lives! It's so vital that we keep raising awareness and funding research if we are going to create a better future for the thousands of women affected by the disease. You can help by raising awareness through things like social media and putting up posters at work. Or you can raise money through organising a ‘Walk in

Her Name’ in your local area with friends and family. Visit the Target Ovarian Cancer website today to sign up receive your fundraising pack and help fight Ovarian Cancer www.targetovariancancer.org.uk Below are a few symptoms of ovarian cancer, but you can find out more about symptoms, diagnostic and treatment by visiting www.targetovariancancer.org.uk/informationand-support/what-ovarian-cancer/ovariancancer-symptoms • Persistent bloating • Feeling full quickly and/or loss of appetite • Pelvic or abdominal pain • Urinary symptoms

EARLY SPRING LOVE FOR YOUR LAWN Spring: the season of awakening and new life, the blooming of fresh buds and reemerging beautiful colour. It can be a truly inspiring time that is invigorating to the senses.

Preparing your garden requires a little effort, but the result can be a gorgeous green space to be proud of. At GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service we know from experience that a big effort in spring pays dividends. It’s now, more than any other time of the year, that specialist lawn care advice comes in handy.

GETTING AHEAD - If you didn’t have your lawn aerated and scarified this winter, there might yet be just enough time to fit it in before we really start to hit the warmer, drier months.

Regardless, now is definitely the time to start thinking about getting all the necessary nutrients into the lawn through the right spring/summer treatment programme.

MOWING - The amount of lawn mowing required will naturally increase; GreenThumb recommends implementing a, regular mowing programme. Dry, sunny days are the best for lawn mowing. It’s important that mower blades are kept sharp or replaced when needed to avoid causing damage to the grass plant. Also, cutting the grass too short, too soon will weaken it, attracting unwanted weeds and moss. If possible, it is best for a lawn to be cut at least once a week, to a height of about 25mm (1”). A little maintenance in the form of consistent mowing will help train the grass to be stronger over time.

KEEP IT CLEAR - Another way to help a lawn through spring is to rake up any dead leaves and twigs from the lawn and cut back overhanging plants; this is because grass needs as much direct sunlight and air as possible to stay healthy and green. As the ground starts to warm, it’s a good time to repair bare patches that can appear over winter. To do so, carefully rake the patch to create a bed, sow the seeds with a little top-soil and don’t let them dry out; they will germinate in a few days (temperature permitting). GreenThumb can assist in this regard, as we have the best seed and an excellent 100% organic top-dressing.

TREATMENT TIME - At GreenThumb we tailor our treatments to suit our part of the country and the conditions we find here.

Treatment programmes should be, and are, designed with the greatest care for lawns: whatever your lawn needs, we tailor our advice to suit the conditions. We have the solutions to transform any piece of grass, whatever the size or condition - into a healthy, fresh and beautiful lawn.

Finally, remember to ENJOY YOUR GARDEN. It is meant to be a pleasure, not a chore. Make the effort now and enjoy the months ahead.

For more information call us on 01243 373642 or email chichester@greenthumb.co.uk visit www.greenthumb.co.uk.

5th of March

World Book Day is a registered charity which aims to give every child and young person a book of their own. This year, the 23rd worldwide annual World Book Day celebrations will take place on the 5th March and will see children, teachers and parents from over 100 countries come together to appreciate reading.

Although the main aim of the celebrations is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading, World Book Day is a day where people of all ages have all come to know and love. Over the years, we have seen parents, grandparents, guardians and friends piece together magnificent (some not so much) costumes of their child’s favourite book character.

Undoubtedly though, this day may fill some parents with the slight dread, with the thought of scrambling a presentable costume together looming over us into the early hours of the night before the big day.

In today’s world, people are often consumed with technology that we forget how many benefits reading books can have for everyone. This month, the team at TDG are encouraging as many people as possible to reignite the reading flames inside us all! To do so here is a list of 5 benefits reading has below:

1. Knowledge:

Although seemly obvious, people tend to forget the fact that reading builds knowledge, something that will make you better equipped to face everyday situations.

2. Entertainment:

Reading isn’t just about learning; it’s about enjoyment too! Finding a book, author or genre you like and reading at your own pace is a brilliant lowbudget way to keep you and your family entertained.

3. Expansion of Vocabulary: Think of it as a reading life cycle; the more you read, the more words you are exposed to and the more likely you will be worked into your vocabulary.

4. Stress reduction:

Reading a novel can transport people into other realms of reality, causing a distraction from real life and allowing time for you to relax.

5. Improved concentration: In this crazy, fast-paced world, our attention is often drawn in a million different directions. Reading can help you focus your attention on one story, allowing everything else to drift away and give your mind time to breathe.

Thousands of supermarkets and book shops take part in World Book Day; you can find your local participating Bookseller by visiting www.worldbookday.com and make sure to follow #WorldBookDay on social media to see how the rest of the world is celebrating!

ROCK YOUR SOCKS FOR DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS WEEK

LANDSCAPES Family run business, 40 years combined experience Fencing • Patios • Decking Hard Landscaping • Soft Landscaping Brickwork • Turfing •Artificial Grass

Insured to £2 million Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association invite the Hampshire community to support their celebrations during Awareness Week 15th- 21st March.

Last year thousands of individuals in schools, workplaces and organisations joined the celebrations by supporting the charity’s ‘Rock Your Socks’ Campaign. This global initiative raises awareness and promotes inclusion by inviting individuals to wear colourful socks for one day, the wackier the better!

Charity chairperson Rachael Ross MBE says, “We are all individuals with our own strengths, and we all deserve the right to experience success and be acknowledged as valued members of our communities. By wearing ‘different’ socks, we hope to highlight the importance of tolerance and acceptance, and to celebrate our wonderful differences which make us all so unique. When people with Down syndrome are given opportunities to participate and be fully included, the whole community benefits.”

How you can help:

To show your support, please Rock Your Socks and post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #PortsmouthDownSyndrome @PortsmouthDSA #RockYourSocks #WDSD. Please go to www.portsmouthdsa.org to find out more about the charity or to contact us. www.portsmouthdsa.org

EMSWORTH MARCH 2020 WEALD & DOWNLAND LIVING MUSEUM HITS OVER £500K FUNDRAISING MILESTONE Museum reaches over £500k of its £1m Heritage Endowment Fund target for the Golden Future Campaign.

The start of 2020 marked 50 years since Weald & Downland Living Museum first opened its doors and it is celebrating with an ambitious fundraising campaign.

Since the launch of the campaign last autumn, the Museum has already received a contribution of £250,000 for its Heritage Endowment Fund. Crucially, the generous legacy gift has been match-funded by the Heritage Fund (formerly the Heritage Lottery Fund) taking the total to over £500,000.

Weald & Downland Living Museum is one of just fifteen national charities that has been awarded match-funding, which will help the Museum meet their £1m endowment target.

In addition, £27,000 of contributions have been donated to the Heritage Endowment Fund by individuals, trusts and foundations, all of which will be match-funded. There has also been a generous donation from the Sargent Charitable Trust for the Museum’s 50 Fund.

Nicola Pratt, Fundraising & Development Manager, commented on the milestone: “The Golden Future Campaign is an ambitious project for Weald & Downland Living Museum, and reaching the halfway mark for our Heritage Endowment Fund is a huge step for the fundraising campaign.

The funds raised will have a vast impact on the Museum for visitors, the local area and future generations.’’

The Golden Future Campaign runs throughout the 50th anniversary year in 2020 and will continue until the end of 2021 with a total fundraising target of £2m. To find out more please visit www.wealddown.co.uk/goldenfuture
