Plant sale

green fingered?

Have you got any spare plants in your garden that you could pot up and donate to the Friends? Perhaps you’ve got house plants you could propagate? Now’s the time to think about what you could spare!

We’re going to have a small plant sale alongside our regular cake sale in this year’s festival. Please get in touch with Emma by emailing plants@blythehillfields.org.uk to let her know if you can help us out by donating plants or running the stall for a couple of hours on the day.

Here’s some ideas…

May/June is a good time to…

·      Split herbaceous perennials (such as Helenium or Sedums)

·      Split Primroses and Polyanthus

·      Pot up spare seedlings such as Foxgloves

·      Take cuttings of Fuchsia or Dahlias and pot them up

·      Sow biennial seeds such as Wallflower

·      Split Iris plants when they’ve finished flowering

 We’d also just welcome anything spare that’s looking good in September and ready to go straight out in the garden.
