World Planting Day - Let's Grow Together
Celebrate World Planting Day with us on the 21st of March and plant something new. Now that spring has officially sprung, we can start to think about getting our garden to bloom.
What is World Planting Day? World Planting Day is a holiday dedicated to celebrating the wonders of planting, raising awareness, and encouraging people to plant something new. There are no strict rules or checklists for the day, but we have put together a little list of suggestions of ways you could put the day to good use.
Make a plan If you haven't done so already, make a plan for your garden beds and borders. When it comes to annual bedding, it's good to plant out before you buy so you can shop well informed. Think about colour schemes and spacing, but most importantly - have fun and make something beautiful!

A tree-mendous idea If you have a suitable spot in your garden, or a generously sized plant pot, why not consider planting a tree? It is no secret that trees are vital for our ecosystem, making them an environmentally responsible addition to any outdoor space. Treat your home to some fruit trees so you can look forward to future autumnal harvests or grow something beautiful to admire for years to come. Additional trees will provide your garden with shade, and beauty and also help local wildlife.
This post from RHS has great advice on how to plant a tree.
Planting is good for our well-being because it helps us connect with nature. Be inspired this World Planting Day and grow something wonderful. Why not pop along and see us in one of our garden centres for more inspiration?
