Garden Schemes
Before
you can grow anything, we need to know what sort of conditions you have.
Then we can choose plants that are suited to them. There really is no need
to waste money on plants that will hate your environment.
We’ll
need to know what sort of soil you have, how much light there is and
the prevailing weather conditions. Is it a windy site, a particularly
cold one, or is it sunny and sheltered?
We
at L R Savage will tackle
the job of putting them all together in a garden - working out which
ones will look best where, and how they will complement each other.
Think
of your garden as a theatrical production. It's all right - you don't need
any artistic training we will advise you. We are aiming for a variety show
that lasts a long time, offers year-round interest and alleviates boredom.
The way to achieve this is to use a wide range of plants: from trees and shrubs
to climbers, perennials, annuals and bulbs. What's the difference between
them, and what can each of them bring to your garden?The garden never stops moving, and no garden is ever finished. It follows, then, that the gardener is always gardening – even though to some the winter seems to be the closed season.
But year-round gardening has its rewards. You can ensure that there is always something to cheer you up in the way of flowers, and always more things to plant and existing features to keep up to scratch.
Not all these tasks are chores. Many of them will keep you in touch with the earth and things that grow.
