Feeling the cold?

Have you put your heating on at home, found you're wearing extra layers? Well the likelihood is if you're feeling cold so are some of your more tender plants. Frosts are likely from this month onwards and so it is a good idea to bring in your tender plants to prevent them from being damaged or being killed. A frostfree shed or garage or conservatory are usually fine.

For plants you can't bring in like palms you can cover them with horticultural fleece or bubble wrap. For particularly tender plants you could even pack some straw inside the fleece.

Both the fleece and bubble wrap are available to purchase from St Bridget Nurseries garden centres.
