Tips for autumn planting

Autumn is nature’s natural time for planting.

We have a wide range of hardy trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, roses and climbers in stock now so there’s plenty to choose from if you’re planning a mini garden makeover or hoping to fill a few gaps.

If you are planning on doing some planting this month, follow our handy guide below:

• Dig in plenty of compost, composted bark or other bulky soil improvers.

• Also add a slow release fertiliser such as bonemeal or controlled-release fertiliser to the soil.

• Make sure all plants are well watered before and after planting.
