A Change of Direction

Maybe I should not title this a change of direction, but a change of location. Having a break from the garden, I decided that it is time to get our front flower displays sorted. I do use a local nursery for all our plants, and Cutt's Lane Nursery is probably one of the best in the area, not only providing a huge range of plants, hanging baskets, herbs and flowers, but they are also very knowledgeable, which is great for me as I have a very limited working knowledge of what to plant and where so I totally rely on their expertise.

Last year we had a single flower arrangement, hanging basket through the summer, and then a Christmas hanging basket throughout the winter containing various evergreen plants such as firs and heather, (most of these are now planted out the back in a box.) This year we have pushed the boat out and decided on 2 hanging baskets, we had been to Cutt's Nursery a few months ago returning our old hanging baskets which they used to grow us two arrangements of Surfina, these produce hundreds of large white flowers that hang down, they are also quite hardy, so ideal in the sun and in the wind. Whilst there I also spotted some senetti, again perfect in the sun and the wind, and I purchased 2 of these as I had already required two stone pots to sit either side of the door, of which they fitted straight in.

The hanging baskets (with flowers) were a total of £40.00 and the 2 senetti plants were £7.99, the stone planters were £30 so the total cost for this side project was £85.98. And of course we can reuse the baskets and stone planters again and again.
