SCULPTURE IN PARTICULAR SPECIAL ROSE WEEK Gardens, Café with Terrace, Gift Shop Ticehurst 01580 200888 pashleymanorgardens.com Early Summer at Pashley Manor Gardens Pashley Manor is proud to host an exhibition and sale of almost 200 pieces of sculpture at their award winning gardens in Sussex at the Sculpture in Particular event from late May to early June. The garden’s sweeping vistas, formal walled gardens and winding woodland paths create the perfect landscape for sculpture, with some pieces providing focal points while others are tantalisingly glimpsed amidst trees and flowers. There is sculpture on display all season from April to September but during the eight days of the Sculpture in Particular event this is complemented by the exhibition of smaller pieces in the house. Then from mid-June the roses are at their best – Pashley’s blend of old fashioned and modern roses are complemented by foxgloves, clematis, London pride, sweet peas and summer flowering shrubs. Over the Special Rose Week there will be the opportunity to take a rose themed walk round the gardens with the Head Gardener and there is a great selection of potted roses, from 23 times Chelsea Gold Medal winners Peter Beales Roses, available to buy, as well as rose themed gifts from the Shop – even the menu in the café features rose inspired dishes over this week! Gardening tips for Late Spring/Early Summer by Phoenix Gardening Gardens are beginning to come back to life, colourful blossoms abound, Spring has sprung. I wonder as I look around some of my clients gardens at the different timings of the same plant. Forsythia for one has almost come and gone in some gardens whilst it’s just starting in others, whatever your case once it’s finished flowering give it a prune, you can thin out some of the older stems at ground level. Flowering currants (Ribes Sanguineum) can also be pruned once flowering has finished. Many types of veg can be sown outside now but check the packets and if they have started to advance be wary of a late frost. Still in the veg patch apply manures and fertilisers where necessary or appropriate. We can plant Phoenix Gardening All aspects of garden maintenance - pruning, planting beds & borders, grass cutting, weeding, clearance, veg plots & allotments plus shed maintenance & patio\deck cleaning Reasonable rates - per hour\day\job. Always happy to quote.

Start sowing those hardy annuals. Early summer then. Still time to plant some potatoes if you haven’t already, it’s also a good idea to do some successional sowing of crops like carrots, lettuces, and turnips. Dead heading is upon us dead head border plants regularly, if you plant up baskets and containers now is a good time to do it. Pruning, Lilacs, philadelphus, spireas and broom can all be trimmed back now. Finish hardening off and planting tender bedding plants. Keep an eye on roses for aphids and mildew, spraying where necessary. Once the main flush of flowers is over give them a feed.
