Welcome...

June ISSUE 2015

.......Summer’s finally here! With sunshine in April, then tempestuous weather in May, I have everything crossed it will be set fair for ‘flaming June’ – as it’s sometimes known!

Hot, hot, hot is how I’d like it – and speaking of sizzling, have we got a magazine for you this month!! Great offers, interesting features and competitions galore – the perfect read for an afternoon in a deck chair, cool glass in hand…..

After all the pantomime ‘will they, won’t they’ of the Election last month, things are looking hopeful for businesses and families alike, with the prospect of a settled five years for our economy to grow and flourish.

The 70th anniversary of VE day was a fitting reminder that we have a wonderful country that so many gave their lives to protect, so make June the month you take a moment to absorb the beauty of this wonderful part of the world.

Until next time………

A Trip Down Memory Lane A trip down Memory Lane With time simply flying by and so many changes happening to our lovely town, I thought it would be lovely to reminisce about days past, local characters and happy memories from years ago.

If you have treasured photos from yesteryear, and would like to scan them and email to us with a brief caption, we would love to print them and indulge in a little nostalgia for the good old days….

If you’ve moved away from the area and are reading BIB online, let us know if you’d like your email address printed, too, so old classmates or colleagues can get in touch.

We would love to hear from you by emailing me at inbusinessmags@gmail.com in order to be included in our first Memory Lane spot in our July issue, so dig around in those cupboards, unleash that old album, and let’s share the memories and enjoy!

Does your oven need divine intervention? ...call an Oven Angel.

We get through the grime to show the shine non caustic fluids used, no fumes, no smells, not harmful to children or pets..

Father’s Day falls on June 21st this year – Midsummer’s Day – providing the perfect opportunity to spoil Dads everywhere, but what to choose?

With the help of a few Dad stereotypes, we’ve put together some treats to make any father feel special.

1. New Dad – characterised by dark circles under the eyes, milk stains on the shoulders of his shirt, slightly bewildered look.

Ideal gifts - baby handprint or footprint picture to treasure, mug with baby photos on, gym pass to de-stress and get some ‘me’ time.

2. Dad of many – easily spotted due to mis-matched socks (pinched by teenage offspring), thinning hair, knee-deep rubbish in the footwells of his car.

Perfect presents – socks (obviously), breakfast in bed (lovingly prepared by children), car wash & valet voucher.

TOTAL ASPECT PLUMBING 3. Honorary Dad – the best job of all, the perfect role model – typified by a great sense of humour and a desire to be a big kid and have fun!

Why not choose – homemade pizza night with a fun family DVD, tickets to a match or concert, or maybe take him to a theme park and let him and the kids run riot!

4. Grandad – relaxed, happy, possibly bald but loving life too much to care!

Spoil this special man on Father’s Day by bringing the children to him, or take them all out for the day and watch him enjoy every moment!

If you’re the Dad, dropping subtle hints on preferred presents, well ahead of time, is a good plan.

Don’t get up too early on the big day itself, and if you’re woken by sounds of chaos in the kitchen, wait for the smoke alarm to sound and you’ll know breakfast’s on its way!

Gardening with children is great fun whatever their age, writes Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day. Children are enthralled by planting, growing and caring for their flowers and edibles over the weeks even children that normally wouldn't concentrate for more than a matter of minutes on other "jobs", really focus on their gardening.

Children love the excitement and anticipation of waiting for the seed to sprout and it's the best way for them to learn how plants grow and what they need to survive; far better than reading about it in a book or watching the TV gardener in the Blue Peter garden!

At the Garden Centre we regularly invite groups from local schools to not only see the workings of a busy garden centre but also allow them to interact with plants, chickens in our poultry department, fish and plants that cover all the senses. Gardening is now firmly on the National Curriculum and this year the theme is ‘Growing’ plants from all types of material - seed, cuttings, division, runners and grafting, all are being taught. Most children love planting and caring for growing plants. It's such a great activity for holidays, weekends and longer evenings. Teaching your children to tend to plants and help in the garden is a lovely way of developing independence and also helps them to learn where their food comes from

ne rather than the reply of a few years ago, “the supermarket!”

Growing fruit and vegetables together might even help a once fussy eater clear their plate - so what are you waiting for?!

Gardening has loads of other things going for it too! It's a healthy, outdoor activity which will keep them away from slumping in front of their computer games and it's something that you can plan and enjoy doing together. All the parenting experts tell us that, to bond happily with your children, you need to find an activity that you as adults enjoy as much as the children. And, in a world full of diversions, gaming, screens and social media, this can only be a good thing.

That said, many of us grew up with the garden on Blue Peter. Although the programme has left London (how we remember the famous Percy Thrower Italian Sunken Garden) and moved to Media City in Salford, the show continues to give inspiration to younger viewers (pictured).

How to make gardening fun....

• There's so much for children to learn get them to tell you what is needed for plants to grow - encourage them to water their gardens regularly and observe the growth.

• Keep them involved, ask loads of questions: What do we need to do next?

Where is the best spot for these? What do the instructions say? Will that seed grow in that bucket of water etc?. This way they feel they’re part of the job in hand.

• Explain that plants take time to grow and that they need sunlight and water.

You can do a little experiment with older children to show this... grow 3 lots of cress: grow one lot in sunlight and water regularly, give another lot water but put in a dark cupboard and grow the final lot in the light, but don't water. Get the children to look at each lot of cress each day and compare how they have grown.

(You can go on to tell them that most seeds also need soil to grow.)

• Take photos of the plants at different stages.... especially things like sunflowers.

When you think about it, it's amazing that a huge sunflower can grow from a small seed.

• When you get to the last few sheets of a kitchen roll, wet it and stand it inside a pint glass or tall jar, then drop a bean seed down the side. Keep the paper damp and you will see the bean sprout roots and then grow, a great way of showing what happens under the ground.

• Explain that the seeds are popped in the hole and then covered up to sleep, this helped make the younger children understand that the seeds are living and they need to be gentle with them.

• Gardening is a great way to develop physical skills like hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Children need to develop these skills, before they can hold and control a pen or pencil.

• Young children love plants which stimulate the senses (touch, sight, sound, taste and smell)... plants with soft leaves or bright flowers, grasses which rustle in the wind, aromatic herbs, scented flowers, fruit and vegetables.

It can be particularly beneficial to grow sensory plants for children with special needs and sensory impairments, as it will encourage them to explore and enjoy their garden.

• Grow plants to attract wildlife such as wildflowers and buddleja as these will attract bees and butterflies. These insects will then pollinate your flowers, which will help you get good crop of fruit and vegetables.

• Get children involved in composting - have a small waterproof box next to the sink to throw kitchen vegetable waste in. Make a little chart of what you can and can’t compost, so the children know what to put in and what has to go in the bin.

• Talk about the insects you find and how they are good or bad for your garden: - hedgehogs and toads eat slugs that will eat your plants; - worms are good as they make holes in the soil for air and water to get to your plants. Some bugs aren't so good as they'll eat your potatoes but, in true organic farming style, you can grow certain herbs close by to get rid of these mini-pests.

- ladybirds are great as they eat greenfly • Get your children to make plant labels to mark where seeds have been planted.

24

• Check out the Royal Horticultural Society’s website, the RHS Campaign for School Gardening https://schoolgardening.rhs.org.uk/home Start on a small scale - don't be too ambitious and embark on a massive gardening project with your children.

Better to keep it small and start with maybe a potato in a pot or Sunflowers - these are quite enough for young children. Or even try cress egg heads with young children as it grows very fast and children can eat in salads and egg sandwiches after only a few days.

Choose your plants carefully - don't try plants that are inclined to shrivel and die if you turn your back for a moment. Alpine plants, many perennials and some shrubs like Buddleja (pictured above), Hebe and Potentillas are all fairly safe bets so it shouldn't all end in tears. Keep it fun and let them do as much as possible by themselves. Give them their own small section in the garden or their own pots, so they won't ruin your grown up flower beds.

Make sure "their garden" gets a decent amount of sun, otherwise little will grow and the children will be put off gardening. For younger children get them to name their plants for a bit of extra fun.

You don't need to spend a fortune on tools or seed trays. To start with, margarine tubs and yoghurt pots can be used to start your seeds off.

One thing that really is worth buying is a water spray gun so your children can help water the little plants as they grow rather than let them drown the poor things (and your workspace and themselves) using a watering can. You can get a spray bottle for kids in bright colours quite cheaply. This way even very young children can help with watering.

Make a date at Evenley On Saturday 20th June, between 10am-5pm, Evenley Wood Garden is hosting its annual Lily & Rose Festival.

Summer in Evenley Wood Garden brings splashes of colour provided by summer bulbs and lilies together with many shrub and climbing roses that impress the visitors’ eye every year. To celebrate newly planted rose cultivars, the Garden organises its Lily & Rose Festival.

A collection of British-bred roses donated by Robert Mattock comprises of commercial varieties as well as rarely grown forms too!

The message from the organisers is simple - don’t forget your secateurs as there will be practical demonstrations on pruning! There will also be a couple of talks on roses and lilies planned to take place during the afternoon. The event will feature a Plant Fair and a small market, including a range of traditional British products.

Buckingham Garden Centre will be attending the event and will be bringing along a range of woodland shade-loving plants, Japanese maples, lilies and of course roses. Children’s activities are also planned, so do come along – keen gardeners, horticulturists and artists to embrace the day at Evenley Wood Garden. Normal admission charges apply. http://www.evenleywoodgarden.co.uk/
