- Plant out potted bulbs. We have a large variety of bulbs for sale.

- Plan a continuous crop of cut flowers for this summer. Perennials such as Delphiniums and a variety of annuals can be grown to produce a useful and beautiful display.
- Plant up your hanging baskets for the summer. We recommend 4 plants for small baskets, and 5 for large, with an upright plant such as Fuschia or Geranium in the centre and sets of trailing plants for the outside such as Bacopa or Lobelia. For a tastier basket why not try a basket with trailing strawberries or Tumbling Tom tomatoes

- Put supports in place for perennials before they get too large.
- Remove faded daffodil and tulip flowers but do not remove the green yet.
- Replace your tired winter bedding. We offer a huge range of bedding.
- Plant up an alpine trough. Alpines such as Sedum and Sempervivens can look their best at this time of year.
- Top dress your containers with fresh compost which will not only benefit the plant, but make the whole display more attractive.
- Remove any frost damaged shoots from evergreens damaged by earlier cold weather.
- Remove any reverted green shoots on hardy variegated evergreens.
