Now is the perfect time to start planting before the winter chill sets in

WITH soil temperatures still nice and warm, get your garden in peak condition this month.

It is the perfect time for planting trees, shrubs and bulbs and also adding mulching to your beds.

As the rain falls, all the lovely nutrients will sink into your soil and feed your plants.

Stubbings Garden Centre near Maidenhead currently has a special offer on 50l bags of farmyard manure at two for £12 and also offer local delivery or click and collect.

Don’t forget that autumn is the ideal time for planting spring flowering and summer flowering bulbs, including daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, alliums, and lilies. Likewise, it is the perfect time for planting fruit, both soft fruit (including raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries and rhubarb) and fruit trees (such as apples, pears, plums and cherries).

If you haven’t visited Stubbings recently, you will be amazed at the quantity and quality of their stock.

And, while stocks last, they have a fabulous clearance area with an array of mature trees and shrubs that are simply outgrowing their pots and need a good home to be planted out. It’s also a little gem for finding quirky Halloween decorations and the all-important pumpkin this season.

Visit Stubbings for helpful advice and personal recommendations from the extremely knowledgeable staff.
