We love showing people how to create a plastic-free, festive wreath using our home-grown willow and an abundance of winter foliage – but there’s still room for a bit […]

Dahlias! What to do in winter?!
.
We are packing our dahlias away for the winter. We dig up our dahlias after they’ve been in the ground for two years. We dry them out, upside down, for a couple of weeks in the poly tunnel. Now, we are going through them cutting off any rotten bits and packing them in crates lined with newspaper, and surrounding them with chopped horse bedding. We have found this
works really well to keep them in good condition through the winter. They will be prepared for planting next spring.
.
How do you prepare your dahlias for the winter?

Fancy a bit of me-time & creativity before Christmas? Are you entertaining & want to wow your guests with an extra special Christmas table this year?
Our last workshop of the year is just around the corner…
🎄 Foam-free Christmas Table Centres Workshop
🎄Friday 13th December 10:00-12:30
🎄£79 covers all materials & refreshments
By popular demand we are running another Christmas table centre workshop. Using foam and moss-free techniques, you will learn how to fill a festive container with fresh, abundant Christmas foliage, herbs, seed heads and rosehips. You’ll be able to pick from our plot to make your centrepieces truly unique. We’ll show you how to decorate round and long tables, the use of candles and accessories, how to use foliage in and out of water and discuss how to look after your table centres to ensure they look stunning throughout the festive period.
Your centrepieces will be finished with a beautiful hand-made Christmas candle, adding that touch of ‘hygge’ we love.

A couple of weeks ago on #worldkindnessday the Blooming Green team came for a day to @thepatchcic It was a case of many hands make light work. We planted up a new bed of herbaceous perennials, and removed old mypex from a bed of roses so we can mulch our Sensational Fantasy with compost and try a new system of weed control.
Blooming Green and the Patch CIC will be working in partnership to grow flowers and this was a chance for the whole Blooming Green team to come and see what has been going on at West Pike Fish Farm for the last year. Catharine explained the Patch’s Vision to create work experience opportunities in horticulture for people with learning disabilities and Autism. If you want to know more about the work of The Patch you can follow them on instagram @thepatchcic
