What's Amazing Now
Happy Morning 🌱🐝 I wanted to show you what we have discovered after cutting down all the old wildflower growth! Since cutting down all the wild Mallow which runs alongside Mandys Woodland Garden, wild Bugle and white Dead-nettle have grown and are providing some important early nectar for our Bees! As well as cutting down the old wildflowers to allow new growth, we have also kept the cuttings and left them in a pile, this is to allow any insects that have laid their eggs to hatch and carry on their life cycle here at Enchanted Gardens.... It is all good on the pasture 😁 Happy Gardening 👩🌾 #Biodiversity #gardening #organicgardening #wildlife #gardeningfornature #woodlandgarden #organicnursery #PollinatorFriendly #gardeninglife #enchantedgardens #conservation #whitstablekent #whitstable #bumblebees #bumblebee #NaturalGardening #naturalborder #butterflies #shrillcarder #lookingafterinsects

The Talking Tree - Crab Apple 🌳🍎 Over the last few weeks we have been watching the lovely old Crab Apple Tree bud and bloom! When we first arrived at the new site she went through a lot of pruning (which you can see from my videos) and is really coming into her own this year. The rain that we have had really makes an enormous difference to brining a Tree's buds out . She is magnificant! 🌸 ☀️We are open today 10am-4pm 📍Dargate Road, Yorkletts, Whitstable 🌱Pollinator friendly plant Nursery & Gardens 🫖 Hot & cold drinks available 🍰 Homemade cake, brownies and scones to enjoy in our 'Un-stable' Tea Room 🦋 Outside seating in Mandys Woodland Garden 💐Gift vouchers available 🐝 Workshops held on Sundays throughout the year - visit the website to book #gardeninglife #organicgardening #gardeningfornature #NaturalGardening #naturalhabbit #whitstablekent #wildlife #pollinatorfriendly #conservationpasture #PollinatorFriendly #enchantedgardens #Organicnursery #crabapple #malussylvetris #listeningtree #whitstable #localbusiness #organicnursery

💦🐝🦋 Water for the Insects 🐞🪰🪳💦 On a bit of a drearier morning last week I filled up this beautiful old sink with scottish pebbles and water. Insects need water too! But we have to be careful because they can drown so easily so the pebbles are their landing pads where they can safely get a drink. You can create one in your own garden very easily!

What is happening at Enchanted Gardens? The sun is shining, the bulbs are popping up and we are sowing seeds! It is back to work for us and it is most definitely welcome. As professional growers we know through experience not to sow our seeds too early, as this can result in weak, leggy, seedlings that don't amount to being a healthy plant. There are a few exceptions, and we have sown all of our pasture wildflowers and native wildflowers as they need variable temperatures, and will not germinate until they have been cold and then warmed through. Today most farmers would call this current 15 degree temperature as being a "FALSE SPRING", do not panic, false springs have always happened and from a growing point of view, simply means in overly high temperatures germination may not happen at all so to wait for the returning cool spring temperatures that we need is sensible. There are however vegetables that can be sown now at home now including: Tomato's, Broad beans and of course chilies. Annuals like Sunflowers and Nasturtiums can also be started off now as well as sweet peas, which of course you must soak for a few hours before sowing. Sweet peas will then germinate in a lower temperature, and we plant in groups of 5 in large pots with the frame for the peas to climb so that we avoid transplanting and disturbing their long root systems. #PollinatorFriendly #NaturalGardening #naturalgardening #Organicnursery #gardeninglife #enchantedgardens #polytunnelgrowing #enchantedgardenskent #vegetableplanting #vegetables #vegetablegardening #seedsowing #seedplanting #falsespring
Happy Thursday! We have been busy on the pasture getting the site completely safe and ready for our re-opening on the 1st April. The woodsman with his MB have carefully cut down the dead Elm trees' that were in my boarder. I thought i'd share the video with you all to see what we have been up too and watch the transformation. Thank you for watching! Donna x x x
Happy morning! As we are fast approaching Spring time, I wanted to share with you the UK vegetable planting planner. It is brilliant to know what will work together in your own veggie patch to get the most out of all your hard work and have some delicious veggies to eat! It seems like Fennel is the 'bad' boy of the veggie patch and doesn't like being planted alongside many others 😂 If you would like a copy of this please send me an email and I will happily share it with you!
