Enniscorth­y Credit Union advises early planning for a great garden this summer

-

APRIL is a great month for making plans for the garden. Spring is sprung and there is a stretch in the evenings. However, frosts can still be a hazard, so keep vulnerable plants protected at night if frost is forecast.

Saving in the credit union for the essentials of your garden plan is a great idea too. Or you can come in and have a chat about borrowing for your needs - for instance, if you are despairing of your old and worn-out lawn-mower, making new beds and borders, putting in a patio, planning a barbecue purchase. Loans are a big part of our business and it’s worth asking at the credit union or checking online at www.enniscorth­ycu.ie to see what might suit you. A credit union loan is competitiv­e and you may be surprised how affordable it can be. See example below.*

Other gardening jobs to be done now are - you should find time to clean and repair your garden tools, book the lawn mower in for a service and check garden furniture for any rot. When it is warm enough, treat wooden furniture, sheds, fences and trellis with wood preservati­ve. Brushes and rollers are fine for most jobs however it is worth considerin­g a sprayer for tricky projects such as woven panels.

Remember Enniscorth­y Credit Union is your community credit union for all your financial needs this year.

Together we’re stronger.
