Summer Edition
Welcome to our summer newsletter, with these long sunny days and barmy evenings it's easy to forget what an awful Winter and Spring we had. Everything seems to be at least 2 weeks behind, 3/4 in some cases. I think it's fair to say that if any of your deciduous plants are not shooting now, it's very unlikely that they will. Certain plants have really struggled through this winter such as Palms, Cordylines, Mimosas and certain Hebaceous Perennials. On a more positive note the Spring flowering bulbs were fantastic, the Camelias never got frosted this year because they were later in bloom and lastly all the Cherry trees were a blaze with colour,
As you might expect we have a whole host of goodies to tempt you on the Garden Centre. With the bedding plant season in full swing we have plenty of planted tubs and baskets along with fuchsias, ivy geraniums, pelargoniums, regal pelargoniums, basket plants and specialist composts. Summer is a very stressfull time for our lawns so please ensure to raise the height of your mower by at least one notch this should ensure that the grass doesn't become too parched!
Barbecueing is obviously a spontanious activity in this country, however with a sustained spell of dry weather we all find ourselves eating outdoors on a more regular basis. We have plenty of gas barbecues on display to suit all pockets. We also stock the BP gas light propane containers in both 5 & 10kg

Of course one of the down sides of these warm humid evenings, especially when eating alfresco is those nasty midgies, but worry not we have a vast range of both Citronella candles, torches, and lanterns to keep them at bay

Now that we have sorted out those midgies we can can move onto another summer favourate, the WASP. I have never really worked out what purpose they actually serve, i'm sure they were put on this planet just to annoy us! Again we have the solution with some wonderfull glass traps

I guess no barbecue or meal in the garden would be complete without some outdoor furniture, which naturally due to the weather is selling through fast. We have everything from wood & cast alluminium to resin weave and textaline. Hammocks are currently proving very popular and we have 5 models to choose from. If that event you have been planning for weeks arrives and the weather is not as you expected, you could always entertain under the Gazebo, we have both pop up and fixed models along with an hexagonal one with roller blinds.
Finally for this edition we are pleased to anounce the arrival of a new franchise at Silversprings called The Bead Bar which will be here from the 1st week of July, specialising in all sorts of unusual jewellery, bracelets, necklaces, made from a variety of different materials. The Bead Bar also operates workshops for making these items, where expert tuition is given.
Our next newsletter will be in the Autumn so until then happy gardening
