THE EVOLUTION OF JACKSDALE GARDEN CENTRE
For over 25 years, Jacksdale Garden Centre has been a cherished family-run business, its origins rooted in a bustling plant nursery. It was once the site of tennis courts and a lively bowling green the team captured here in the 1930s, the site fell silent in the 1970s and left derelict. Fast forward, it now thrives with a recently refurbished plant area, charming gift shop, and cozy tearoom. Jacksdale’s journey echoes resilience and renewal, having transformed from its former community hub, into the garden centre that it is today, still serving the local community.

To keep your Poinsettias thriving, follow these tips:
Provide Bright, Indirect Light:
Place your Poinsettia near a window with plenty of natural light, but shield it from direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Maintain Stable Temperatures:
Keep the plant in a room with temperatures between 18-21°C. Avoid placing it near drafts, heaters, or air conditioners, as extreme temperature changes can stress the plant.
Water Correctly:
Water the Poinsettia when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Increase Humidity:
Poinsettias thrive in higher humidity. You can enhance humidity by misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray.
Avoid Over-Feeding:
Refrain from fertilizing during the blooming period. Resume feeding in spring when new growth starts to ensure optimal health and vigour.
