Strawberry Plants Durham

The first signs of spring are already showing, with bright, ivy snowdrops flowering beneath our hedgerows and trees. Here at Chesters Grove Garden Centre in County Durham, we’re busy planning and stocking for the coming season. Strawberry plants are always first on our list and now’s a great time to give them a good start.

As usual, we have a wide variety in stock, something for everyone! Plus, in these difficult times, we’re always trying to make your money go that little but further, so for a limited period only, if you buy 4, you‘ll get the 5^th free.

Top offer, from Durham’s top Garden Centre, that’s Chesters Grove. Friendly, cosy, and just that little bit more affordable too!

Thanks for reading

County Durham biodiversity

Ever thought about boosting County Durham biodiversity in your garden? It’s easier than you might think to create new habitats for plants that will also be beneficial to many creatures. Here at Chesters Grove, our staff are making it their goal to create at least one new habitat this year. It can take the shape of a pond, a hedge, a compost heap, or a patch of lawn for long grass and meadow flowers. Why not give it a go? Did you know, you’d also be helping the rest of your garden, since a plot filled with biodiversity is less likely to suffer damage from pests and diseases? Nature isn’t always a perfect friend to the gardener – buy preventative controls such as carrot fly netting and slug rings now, not when the pests have struck. We’d love to read some feedback on your efforts.

County Durham Gardens

January is the perfect time to start planing for your summer garden at Chesters Grove Garden Centre. For gardeners in County Durham it’s also a great time to start stocking up on containers, canes and string. There are many essential jobs which can be carried during January and February that will benefit your garden when summers comes around.

Remove any lingering summer annuals that won’t make it through our colder northern months, should be one of the jobs on your list. Any herbaceous border plants will also need your attention with some cutting back. It’s also worth remembering many beetles and ladybirds will use the stems as a winter hideaways, so leave some of the stems intact!

Garden birds will also thank you for leaving a few seed heads in the borders.
and if you’re like me, you’ll have all of your bird feeders well stocked up. While the ground’s hard, gardens in County Durham will have tree and house sparrows, tits, robins and starlings all searching for food. Chesters Grove have a huge selection available, many of which are specially prepared on the premises. Happy gardening.
