KNOW YOUR SITE

By learning as much as possible about the weather conditions, sun exposure and soil type of your garden you’ll be able to choose plants that will happily grow there without needing to be cosseted. Clever gardeners grow shade-loving plants under trees, bog-lovers in damp soils and drought-tolerant ones on hot slopes. Understanding your site ain’t rocket science and it will definitely help to avoid wasting money on unsuitable plants.
