Spring Fever Has Hit GardenBarn! Spring is special for so many reasons - baby lambs, improving weather, longer days - and of course the abundant amount of new season flowers, plants & trees that fill the benches here at GardenBarn make it an exciting time too. Even if gardening isn’t your thing - come and have a wander around our Garden Centre & Nursery and soak up the calming atmosphere, beautiful sights and sensational smells. We’re open until 6pm, so it could be the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. It’s been a busy week for new stock deliveries - here’s a peak at some of what we have waiting for you.
Magnolias or Michelias?
Updating pots or creating a flower garden?
Magnolia’s are an amazing sight at this time of year, and there are many small ones that are perfect for home gardens.
Now is a great time to give your garden a make-over, and this can be done affordably with our Flower Punnets, only $3.60 for 6 seedlings or Small Pot Perennial Range, where you can buy a mixture of 3 for $20.
Magnolias and Michelias are related—but there are differenceds between the two.
When planting flowers in pots, we highly recommend using a quality potting mix such as Daltons Premium. You will see the benefits in growth, there’s lots of added goodies to help your garden grow & to stay alive.
Magnolia flowers tend to be large and sit on the end of the branch, unlike the masses of blooms that cover the branch of the Michelia. Michelia’s are evergreen, produce masses of fragrant flowers, have small foliage and seem to cope better with the cold compared to Magnolias. They tolerate trimming so can be made into topiaries or hedges.
MAGNOLIA SENTRY The columnar growing habit makes this the perfect choice for compact gardens or pots. The spicy scented blooms appear from a young age.
HANGING BASKETS & POTS are affordable ways to give impact & colour to your summer garden. Petunias, Lobelias, Geraniums, Fuchsias - the options are limitless.
FAIRY MAGNOLIA SERIES You won’t get a hedge much prettier than the Fairy Cream or Fairy White Magnolia. Fast & easy to grow, compact but bushy growth and masses of fragrant flowers will cover the hedge in spring.
A home garden wouldn’t be complete without edibles Not only does growing your own food at home benefit your health, it can also benefit the overall appearance of your garden. We have a wonderful selection of dwarf Fruit Trees & Citrus that would be fabulous in pots or as a ‘show piece’ in your garden, olives or feijoas can be grown into an edible hedge, and there’s no reason why you couldn’t plant a border of edible greens at the front of the flower garden, companion planting is an extremely interesting way to garden.
Cosmos fluttering around in the breeze is a summer sight to behold.
SWEET PEAS Not only do they look delightful in the summer garden you can bring the summer scent indoors with cut flowers.
Armeria Morning Star is a wonderful way to create a garden edge.
Flowering Fragrance Placing pots of delightfully smelling flowers near the house where you can enjoy them is a wonderful way to welcome in Spring.
Provide shade and fruit with AVOCADO TREES - we have a limited number in stock now. MARIGOLDS are a great companion plant in the veggie garden. Their strong scent repels most insects & their roots also contain a chemical which kills parasites living in the soil.
