Review of Haws Practican Watering Can

The Gardeners Friend

Advantages: A hard wearing watering can from Haws.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...At the moment we are lucky enough to be enjoying the benefits of a heatwave but we have to spare a thought for our gardens, the water butts are running low and we have no choice but to give our gardens a good water or we run the risk of losing plants that we have been nurturing and some of them cost a pretty penny or two at the local garden centre too. But before anyone drops me a message I do realise that the heatwave just doesn't suit everyone and many of the animals find it hard to cope with too. Our watering can is working overtime at the moment, I water early in the morning and then again late at night when it has cooled down, my tubs are really colourful and I want to keep them looking like it for as long as possible. A watering can is a watering can ? to some extent that statement is true, you can buy a very inexpensive...

In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Review of Ground Force, Water Garden Workbook - Charlie Dimmock

Water-skiing, Global Warming and Hunter's ashes!

Advantages: Up to date answers and great trivia
Disadvantages: Dating fast!

...'How Slow Can You Water-ski?' is compiled from questions asked in The Guardian's 'This Week' column and is fairly topical, having been published in 2006. However, as pertinent as a lot of the questions are to today's world, the book is already beginning to date. The most obvious example of this is a question on what constitutes a planet, where Pluto is still cited as a planet, but the nature of the questions mean that this book will date extremely quickly as more scientific discoveries are made. It's best to borrow rather than buy. Having said that, it makes fascinating reading. The book is divided into 10 sections, which tackle topics as diverse as Space & Time and Food & Drink. The questions range from brilliant, through interesting, to odd. They include 'What is hair cloning?', 'What happened to Hunter S. Thompson's ashes?', 'How...

Review of Alnwick Garden, Northumberland

A virtual garden tour

Advantages: A visual treat and Audrey hepburn
Disadvantages: none

...passing year, developing an allround personality, never being pretentious ever, not while she was a star , nor now.She was a down to earth, warm and likeable person, and thats what makes this video so special- her sheer presence, the way she dresses so elegantly and the way she carries herself. When i watched her amidst all those out of this world , Lovely gardens, i felt that the two matched perfectly, each complementing the other.She seemed to be the right person to have done this series with her keen eye for details and an obvious interest in gardening. She chats with the gardeners, exchanging tips and providing some informations of her own experiences as a gardener.She is very natural about it with no airs what so ever.One can see the admiration and warmth she generates, as she interacts with various people across the world, as she...

Review of Gardens Of The World (DVD)

Gardeners Delight

Advantages: Wide range of good quality goods
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...'ll even sell you the furniture and everything barbecue related. QUALITY AND PRICING I'll make this clear now, Peter Barratt's is not cheap, but I strongly believe it's a case of you get what you pay for. Compared to say a B&Q store, I'd say they're probably around 15-20% more expensive, but the price difference really is reflected in the quality. For example I bought two very similar heuchera plants last year, one from Peter Barratt's and one from B&Q for £5.99 and £4.99 respectively. They've been planted in close proximity in the garden, had identical watering / feeding regimes and even a complete garden novice would be able to tell which one grown more and is in better overall condition, you can probably guess. Peter Barratts back up their quality with a 12 month guarantee on all shrubs, providing you retain your original...

Review of Peter Barratts Garden Centre

Busch Gardens

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...originally free for all guests as it was linked to the Anheuser-Busch brewery located on the site. The idea was that guests would first be able to see wild animals, before entering the main beer manufacturing plant. However, during the 1970s the manufacturing plant closed down, and the company decided to pay more attention to the African theme park itself, made it more exotic and entertaining and started charging guests to enter the park. The parks mixture of fun rides, family friendly environment, exotic scenery and animal has bought millions of visitors to the gardens each year. Ticket Prices: Like most theme parks in Florida, a ticket varies in price, and can come with additional features. You have the option of buying a singular ticket, or a double ticket that allows you access into Busch Gardens and another theme park close by...

Gardening for Wildlife

Advantages: Encourages a mini eco-system right on your doorstep
Disadvantages: Does involve a small amount of effort!

...that you love, and when you have that balance right, you keep everybody happy! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *****Hedges***** Hedges are great, not just to keep unwanted visitors out, but to give creatures a place to live. I have planted a hawthorn hedge down the boundary line of my back garden, and this is a perfect hedging plant. It is quite thorny and therefore cat-proof, so birds can nest safely in it - the lower areas are perfect for frogs, toads, hedgehogs and field mice, it has lovely white, scented blossom in May, and produces heaps of red berries that will keep birds satisfied in the dark winter months. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *****Water***** If you want to attract any sort of wildlife to your garden , water is the surest way to do it. Have a pond if you can, as this...
