Gardens Open Bonanza UK Greenfingers Gardens Open Bonanza: UK gardening tips advice on Gardens Open Bonanza Gardens Open Bonanza

Continuing the pattern of recent years, today will be the busiest day of the year for gardens opening to the public. We have already highlighted the organic opening events, but in addition it is an open bonanza up and down the country. adventure holiday wales

So thank goodness that the first heatwave weekend has arrived just in time to celebrate this fantastically rewarding British pastime. About 650 gardens in England and Wales will open for the National Gardens Scheme and probably around 100 in Scotland for Scotland s Garden Scheme. In additions lots more will open for local charities. The openings often provide rare opportunities to visit gardens that are otherwise totally private. And for many people opening their garden for the first time it is a nerve-racking day with weeks of work in preparation. holiday park south wales

The National Gardens Scheme estimates that it will raise .5 million from garden opening this year. The funds go to a variety of charities, in particular the Queen s Nursing Institute and Macmillan Cancer Relief. cottage holiday wales

Since the first gardens opened for them in 1927 for an admission fee of one shilling, the NGS has done a wonderful job to combine the rewards of a day out looking at gardens with raising money for charity. Their busiest day of the year is a good opportunity to say congratulations and keep up the good work. holiday in wales

If you want to visit a garden today visit the NGS website at www.ngs.org.uk or get a copy of their famous Yellow Book , the yellow-covered handbook listing all the gardens that open with dates and directions. Ads for Sexy Flowers UK Ads for Sexy Flowers

00, 000 of money from the European Commission has been used for an advertising campaign that claims - among other things - that flowers and plants can cure hangovers and revive flagging libidos. holiday wales

The Sunday Telegraph reports that there have been a few raised eyebrows and more angry criticisms from MEPs who see it as another example of questionable use of Commission funds. The money has been given to the British organization, the Flowers and Plants Association which is the trade body representing flower sellers. Their campaign is aimed to raise awareness of the availability of cut flowers and other plants in an attempt to shift the general perception of them from being a luxury for treats to being an everyday feature for most households. cottage holiday in wales

The text of one ad claims that Roses and lilies have been found to have positive effect on both male and female libido. Another claims that the smell of roses has the effect of stimulating circulation, lowering blood pressure and is a good hangover relief. caravan holiday in wales

Few disagree that the campaign is well intentioned. But there is a good deal of scepticism about the different claims as few have proven scientific backing. It is the idea that the European Commission is dishing out funds in such circumstances that has caused the rumpus. camping holiday wales

Whether scientifically proven to be beneficial or not, we at Greenfingers certainly agree that floral benefits should be highlighted and more widely enjoyed. accommodation holiday wales

Differing in the Garden UK Differing in the Garden Gardening Which

magazine has just added its weighty ammunition to the ongoing his and hers gardening debate. Following similar announcements that the garden is likely to lead to a domestic, the watchdog body announces that a survey of 550 gardeners suggest that the air is more likely to be blue that green in most gardens. The research suggests that 95% of the men and women surveyed want different things in the garden. It suggests that men s attitude is fundamentally lazy, solution - or more often quick-fix - seeking and unimaginative. Women, on the other hand, work harder in the garden, actively enjoy doing so and are far more imiginative. catering holiday self wales

Low maintenance is a key objective for men who also like a nice big lawn. Perfect grass patches are not such a priority for women who are more concerned about having lots of colour and with scented plants a real favourite. holiday wales walking

It seems that both parties agree in liking water but on not much else. But rather than being a cause for disagreement, the different tastes and views should be seen as grounds for the ideal garden which comes from a meeting of minds. family holiday wales

Threat to Ancient Woodlands UK Greenfingers Threat to Ancient Woodlands: UK gardening tips advice on Threat to Ancient Woodlands Threat to Ancient Woodlands

A report by the Woodland Trust just released contains a number of worrying predictions for Britain s ancient woodlands. The Independent describes how a combination of climate change, development and agriculture could pose a major threat to large tracts of those areas of ancient woodland still surviving. And this is in the face of statistics showing that 50% of the natural habitat of broadleaved woods has disappeared since the 1930s. adventure holiday wales

It is these areas that are most at risk, according to the report. Climatic changes, including the possibility of rising temperatures, drought and storms, will threaten a number of wild flower species such as bluebells, Solomon s seal and wood anemones. holiday park south wales

In addition the Woodland Trust maintains that shortcomings in current legislation mean that 85% of Britain s ancient woodlands actually have no real legal protection in the face of the threat from development planning. Intensive agriculture also has the effect of making inroads into the fragmented areas of woodland. cottage holiday wales

Speaking for the Woodland Trust, the chief executive Mike townsend makes the plea, Ancient woods are a finite resource which can never be replaced, their future survival depends on action now. holiday in wales

Question Time Immortalised UK Question Time Immortalized

BBC s Gardener s Question Time, still the most established media icon in the gardening world despite the rising threats of younger television rivals, has been officially recognized as part of Britain s heritage. cottage holiday in wales

It has become the first radio programme ever to be honoured with the award of a blue heritage plaque, of the kind that more usually adorn the former homes of politicians and actors. The plaque - suitably in a shade of green rather than blue - was officially unveiled this week at the Broadoak Hotel, Ashton-under-Lyme in Greater Manchester, by the local Tameside council. The hotel was where it all began in 1947 with the first broadcast entitled, How Does Your Garden Grow: A Gardener s Question Time. caravan holiday in wales

At the same time another plaque was unveiled to recognize the contribution of Will Sowerbutts, one of the original panelists. This plaque will be moved to his former home. The show still commands a devoted audience of 1.3 million and the content retains the same mix of earthy humour and advice that usually focuses on the practical end of gardening, in particular fending off pests and diseases and growing vegetables. camping holiday wales

Greenfingers Serious Flower Shows: UK gardening tips advice on Serious Flower Shows Serious Flower Shows

Chelsea, BBC Gardener World, Hampton Court The succession of big show names through the summer get constant exposure and publicity and you might think that there isn room for any others. accommodation holiday wales

But the really serious horticulture often goes on at the smaller flower shows around the country, such as the summer show that the Royal Horticultural Society have just held at their main exhibition hall in Central London. holiday last minute wales

Gardeners love seeing new varieties of plants and it was great to see an intriguing batch being revealed here where they would be seriously assessed by a small audience, as opposed to at one of the larger shows where they might be lost on a larger stage. catering holiday self wales

There were new varieties of a number of summer-flowering favourites including clematis, pinks and foxgloves. There were also rarities such as the Michaxia Zystery /i unveiled by Hopleys Plants of Hertfordshire, which is a brilliant looking relative of the bellflower. Even more exotic were the Andean orchids or anguloas shown by Henry Oakeley from Kent. Among the new plants exhibited was Anguloa tognettiae which was only re-discovered growing in Peru last year more than two hundred years after it had originally been discovered. holiday wales walking

Summer has become an increasingly busy season for garden shows in recent years with newcomers constantly springing up. One of the most successful and enjoyable, away from the big-gun RHS league of Chelsea, Hampton Court etc, is the Festival of Gardening which takes place this week-end at Hatfield House for the eighteenth consecutive year. family holiday wales

Hatfield festival, open from 10am to 6pm today and tomorrow, Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th June, has skilfully made best use of the resources at its disposal. First it takes place in one of the most superb country house (stately home really) and garden settings anywhere in Britain. Second, it has as its hostess one of the most admired gardeners of her generation, Lady Salisbury. holiday riding wales
