Plants of Interest in Avenham & Miller Park (Prest

Plants of Interest in Avenham & Miller Park (Preston) in February.

Crocus in the Japanese Garden with the fiery Cornus providing the backdrop.
Do check out the display of Crocii in Ashton Park this time of year. An abundance of colour.

Also in the Japanese Garden we have the similar colour palette of Witch Hazel & Paperbark Maple picking up on each other.
Though the Witch Hazel will soon fade, the Maple will continue to show its beautiful red/brown bark all year round.

Mahonia is a stalwart of winter, producing vibrant colour in a grey time of year.
Beautiful fragrance too.

Daffodils are out already which means Spring is well and truly on the way!

The Fatsia are in flower too, a very useful food source for pollinators making an early trip out.

On that same note the flowering currants are on display, albeit a little early and nowhere near their peak.
The bee in this pic didn't seem bothered though!

If you find value in posts like this I may do more in different parts of Preston/North West!
(When there's more in bloom!)

Tidbits from work as of late 🌿 Over the next few

Tidbits from work as of late 🌿

Over the next few weeks I will be evaluating my maintenance schedule for the season ahead (Preston area)

If you're considering having me as your gardener reach out ASAP to avoid disappointment.

I will have less flexibility when peak spring growth is here so get yourself ahead of the crowd 😉

How it works?

Typically visits are every fortnight.
I usually message ahead to let you know when I'll be by.

What do you do?

Full garden maintenance.
Includes lawns, hedges & borders.
Emphasis on plant care, planting schemes and natural organic methods.

Ideal for families with busy lives or those that want peace of mind their gardener knows what he's doing!

I like to get creative with what I can achieve in your garden!

Warm regards,
Tim 🙏

A shrub that you'll see & smell that flowers this time of year is Sarcococca Confusa.

It is usually planted in drifts (like in this reel) to enhance the fragrance.

If you're walking into Preston through the parks it will be a very noticeable pleasant smell.
Look out for it when you're next passing through.

Hellebores in all their glory.

So many varieties to choose from...
Just plant them and they'll do the rest.

Nature rewards you with abundance if you let it.

Don't mind me, just adding to the snowdrop appreciation.

Such beauty in an otherwise grim time of year... once they're finished smoother times lay ahead 🙏

Signs of life! 🌿

As nature is beginning to venture out it's a good time to start thinking about your garden for the year ahead.

I provide maintenance packages (in the Preston area) specific to the needs of your garden, to nurture it into it's best shape.

In addition, my expertise in plant care means together we can be proactive at making your garden bloom all year round.

Finally, using organic methods means peace of mind for homes with pets & kids with no compromise on the end result 🫶

Really pleased with how this turned out yesterday

Bringing overgrown shrubs back into shape and another winter fruit tree pruning 🌿

What a privilege it is to be out and about in January without it being too cold or miserable 🙏

Something you won't hear many gardeners appreciate

Something you won't hear many gardeners appreciate are gardens like this one that have not been meticulously tidied going into winter.

This year I have mirrored this in my own garden, instead opting to cut things back in spring. Going with the seasons and with nature instead of battling against it.

The advantages of doing this?

- More winter interest (cutting back perennials in autumn leaves a gap that isn't filled for ~half a year) 🌿

- Attract wildlife & feed the birds 🐦

- Soil is protected against the elements under a layer of leaf litter giving it better structure and suppressing the weeds.

Now this doesn't apply to everyone & not everyone is this way inclined and thats fine!

Big gardens especially need to be kept on top of or they'll run away come spring, but if you have a small or medium sized garden why not try going with the seasons next year.

I still do my fair share of tidying for customers but I also advocate leaving things as they are just as much.

If this post resonates with you why not give it a like and share where you can.

If you're after a gardener who will nurture your green space in a natural way to achieve it's fullest potential you know where I am! 😃
