Bare rooted plants are a great choice for planting in the winter as they will establish quickly. Root system is very strong with many side shoots.

LARGE GRADE $2.50 (approx 30cm tall)

MEDIUM GRADE $2.00 (approx 20cm tall)

A box hedge is closely planted, 5 or 6 per metre is ideal. It is much easier to get even spacing by putting plants into a trench than by digging holes. Use a line to make sure they are planted in a straight row and space the plants at 17-20cm intervals.

Price: $2.50

Did you take part in last year's Gruffalo Explorer walk? If the answer's yes, you may remember this special creature.

He's just been to Wellington, where he was a winner in the Golden Foot Walking Awards 2018.

Well done Gruffalo for taking out the top prize for a community-led project, which was part of the Breeze Walking Festival. This would not have been possible without the collaboration of St Margaret’s College, Canterbury Playcentre Association, Canterbury Plunket and the Council parks, libraries and recreation teams.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
