Just around the corner – the long Easter Holiday Weekend is traditionally a time when we gardeners roll up our sleeves and move mountains to create a garden we can enjoy over the growing season ahead.

It is a turning point. A marker in the year. The beginning of new opportunities and a time for optimism.
So what should you do?
HAPPY GARDENING!
