Next month marks National Gardening Week where gardeners are encouraged to celebrate their own little slice of the outdoors and local produce.
Organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, the campaign has been running for eight years now with a number of events organised right across the country, with people also sharing their ‘passion for plants’ on social media.
In the lead up to the big week, we’ve prepared some suggestions to help make your garden look its very best.

All the Tools You Need for National Gardening Week

One of the most popular community activities of National Gardening Week is to tidy up or re-design a garden space in your local neighbourhood.
Here at Weston Sawmill we have just the set of tools you need to suit transform any size of garden, even if it’s not your own! Can you expand on this point?
Alternatively, if you’re looking to go green this year, our raised beds are a great way of growing a wide range of plants, especially fruit and vegetables. Here’s some more ways raised beds can benefit your garden –

• Unlike ground level plants, raised beds provide gardeners with increased drainage meaning you’re left with happier plants!
• As the beds are open to the ground, plant roots can also grow further into the ground to source key nutrients, enhancing the roots overall health.
• The height of the beds also makes gardening easier for those with mobility issues.
• Depending on the size of your raised beds you also have the option of planting trees or shrubs
• As the soil is generally warmer, gardeners are also able to start planting earlier in the season.
• Perhaps most importantly for some, the raised beds can also help to keep pesky path weeds and pests such as snails and slugs away from your plants
