What brings the biggest joy to a person is seeing they helped someone be happy, too. In Fantastic Gardeners’ case, it was the creation of a spot for the children of the Acol Nursery school to play, explore and feel more homely. In our previous session we set the stage for the stars of the show to appear – it was already March and it was high time for flowers to march forward.
The extra February day was adequately filled with the “heavy duty” preparations. Spending the whole day clearing out both gardens wasn’t the easiest job, but it was well worth it. Then, a few weeks later, it was high time to finish our job with sowing several pretty flowers and veggies. With depicting visual photos and general information on how take care of the individual flower, the kids will have plenty to learn in the future.
An always on-topic issue is that being aware of your own environment and surroundings is one of the tricky life skills that are especially difficult to learn when you aren’t close with nature. Acol children’s school, however, will be able to fix that by having a new pretty garden that will teach the kids to be responsible, to grow plants on their own and to raise their overall confidence levels high.
After all, it issomething that you managed to nurture and grow on your own that will show you how to care for things.

There’s no denying that electrical appliances can make gardening a lot easier – when you’re faced with a thicket that needs cutting back, an unending hedge that needs trimming, or a large lawn to mow, there are few people who have the time and energy to reach for a manual tool to do the job.
Gardening for some provides the daily bread, for others, it’s an escape from reality and for you, it might be your favourite hobby. Nevertheless, a garden decorated to your own preferences will act as a source of inspiration and will provide you a place to gather up your thoughts.
A butterfly garden (or butterfly habitat) is a place dedicated for butterflies to feed and hydrate. It also helps butterflies find shelter, as many of their natural habitats are being lost due to human activities and urbanisation.
In their original environments, invasive plants are restrained by their natural adversaries, with whom they co-evolved. However, when they are introduced to a new environment without these natural enemies, some plants can flourish and spread uncontrollably, ultimately becoming invasive.

Most of the time, overgrown or sick trees are simply a nuisance, an eyesore in your otherwise impeccable garden. Sometimes, however, they can also mean trouble and your best course of action will often be to contact a specialist.
