Inside SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living Winter
On sale from Monday, our winter issue of SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living magazine is full of great advice – and a spectacular garden you have to see.
I love nothing more than a freshly-plucked bunch of flowers. In a florist’s shop, I’m a kid in a candy store.
But could there be anything better than seeing it through the whole process – from planting to picking, and then bunching?
We hear from Morgan Park Garden Centre’s Chris Simon this issue with some great picks for flowers to grow yourself that will make a wonderful posy. Who wouldn’t want to turn their own patch into a mini flower farm with a specially-curated list of florals?
Check out Chris’s recommendations for the best plants to grow to add to a dried bunch – what a perfect everlasting gift to give.
We’re embracing all the flowers we can this winter, with Tina Bolton from Protea World sharing her tips for these South African natives that we’ve embraced as our own.
Then, Daniel and Kate Hall from Newmans Nursery encourage us to get potting to give our camellias the best chance to thrive.
Once again, we have gardening expert Kim Syrus giving us insight into all the jobs we need to be doing through these cooler months.
This season isn’t necessarily about the most glamorous gardening jobs, but Kim encourages us to rug up, head outside and lay the groundwork for a successful spring.
Caroline Michell from The Turf Farm chats about winter dormancy in lawns, as well as all the steps we can take now to have them looking their best in a few months.
