Winter

Around Christmas everyone says to keep it local and to buy local. Well in CountryLife we do just that with our Christmas plants. In terms of our poinsettias they are as fresh and local as we could get. We get our poinsettias from two different nurseries, Littlebridge nurseries in Cork and O’Connor nurseries in Wexford. O’Connor’s nurseries grow their poinsettias without the use of chemical spray and they use biological pest control.

Even during winter there are still jobs you can do in the garden this will also help you to get your garden ready for next year. Finish off the year with your garden looking good!

Living in Ireland we’re used to unpredictable weather, it’s cold and dry one day and wet and mild the next.

With the evenings getting shorter, keep yourself and your family safe on the roads.

Your garden needs plenty of TLC in November.

With the change in seasons there comes a need to change your bedding plants too.

The leaves are falling and the days or wind and rain are gaining in number. As well as wrapping yourself up warm – your garden needs plenty of TLC in November.
