It’s time to deadhead French Lavender to keep it blooming into the summer! Snip off each of the ‘finished’ flower heads where they meet the stem.

There’s nothing better than the taste of home grown strawberries! 🍓

🍓They are hungry so need rich compost (adding rotted manure is ideal).
🍓They need a sunny position to get the sweetest strawberries
🍓 Treat them with plenty of water
🍓If growing in pots, remember to feed weekly with liquid seaweed in the spring & summer

We are so thrilled to have our water feature restored by the extremely talented ! It’s wonderful to hear the sound of running water in our garden again. We’re so lucky to have such local talent! Now, mmm what to plant around it? 🤔 Exciting times!

🐝 This time it was the turn of the other town planters in Beaminster! Unfortunately with the extremely wet winter the 2 white stemmed birch had died so had to be removed.

🐝 Beaminster town council asked us to replant the planters with pollinator friendly plants & edible plants. So they are a treat for our senses as well as the local bees!

🐝 It’s world Bee day! As you know we pride ourselves on being pollinator friendly here at Little Groves & have our fabulous pollinator pitstop bank in the carpark & a permanent sales bed dedicated to plants for pollinators. If you have any questions about planting for bees please pop in & our knowledgeable team can help you 🤗
