How does your Lancaster garden grow?

Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2021

This week is National Gardening Week and I don't know about you, but I got to enjoy a lot of the outside space of my garden and surrounding area last summer. 


We are aware gardens are high on the list for a number of buyers and we have had some homes with amazing gardens lately...if you're a beginner or want some inspiration on how to make the most of what you have, carry on reading as we list a few ideas! 

We have compiled a shortlist to get you started and hopefully help attract wildlife to your garden... 



Easy to grow Flowers 


Pansies - available in various colours and grows in cooler temperatures best, blooms in either full sunshine or shaded areas. Attracts butterflies. 

Daffodils - Commonly grown yellow or white, make sure to plant bulbs in the Autumn to enjoy blooming in the late winter/ early spring. Grows best in regularly well-watered soil. 

Marigolds- Blooms in Spring, Summer and Autumn. Grows and blooms best in full sun and in regularly well-watered soil. 

Lupins - Plant in full sun in the cooler part of the garden. Blooms and grows best in well-watered/drained soil and attracts butterflies. 

Lavender - Grows best in full sunshine and well-watered/drained soil. The scent is calming and also attracts bees and butterflies.
