October in the Garden

The Mackintosh Martin team have had a busy September as Ru and Liza celebrated their wedding on the 16th in High Hurstwood, East Sussex. They grew all the flowers for the celebration at their local allotment plot and had a wonderful time.

Back in the gardens, the weather is starting to cool down and Autumn is drawing in. The soil remains warm throughout October so this is a great time for planting. Do let us know if you would like us to order plants for your gardens to be more established by next Summer.

Spring Bulbs- we have created a catalogue of our avaliable spring bulbs and these are now ready to order, let us know which you would like when you receive your Spring Bulb email.

Garden Jobs this Month:

• Leaf blowing as the leaves begin to fall

• Clearing and mulching beds - let us know if you would like us to pick up compost for your beds

• Tidying ponds for the winter

• Taking in tender plant tubers e.g. Dahlias

• Planting Spring Bulbs

• Pruning: Hardy Geraniums, Virgina Creeper, Buddleia, Summer flowering Jasmine

Star Plants:

We are looking forward to continuing our work in your gardens over the Autumn,

The Team at Mackintosh Martin Gardening
