Improve your Gardening Skills with Auntie Planty Gardening Tips

Are you frustrated with your gardening efforts to date? Do you wish you knew more about what to do and when? Are you keen to learn, but the books and research you have on your shelf to date haven't helped as much as you would like? Auntie Planty is a garden coaching service for people who want to do their own gardening but need a bit of help. This service can help if you are a gardening beginner or a gardening master.

Gardening Tips for New Home Owners

Congratulations on your new home purchase. Many new home owners find it helpful to have a gardening audit with Auntie Planty just after they move in. We can help you identify what plants are in your garden, which areas may need remedial help and which just need a little tender loving care. Save yourself months of confusion. Auntie Planty can help you get your new garden into its best condition quickly and with the minimum of mistakes.

Improve your Home with our Gardening Tips and Classes

A great garden at the front of a house offers kerb appeal. A beautiful back garden can give the impression of an additional ‘room' in your home. If a homebuyer likes two houses and one has a garden that needs work and the other doesn't, most will choose the one that needs no work. Ensure your home sells. A little gardening effort can give a real return on investment even in difficult economic times. Auntie Planty can coach you in what you need to do and when. It won't cost the earth and could help your home to sell in these tough conditions.

Learn to Love your Garden Plants

Most of us have purchased garden plants that looked beautiful at the garden centre and they just never quite live up to their potential. Auntie Planty can help you ensure that the plant choices you make are best for your garden so that your garden will sparkle all year round. Sometimes all you need to do is move the plant a meter or two, or add some mineral supplements to the soil. Learn to love your garden plants by understanding what they need, and when and maximise their flowering performance by following her pruning advice.

Give your Garden a Gift

A garden health check is like giving your garden a gift. Auntie Planty will walk with you around your garden and identify problem areas and make suggestions of how to improve them. Her plant knowledge is so extensive that she can spot a problem potential before it gets a grip. Often we develop problem areas in the garden because we don't understand what the specific plant types need and want in order to flourish. Don't let your garden suffer because of a lack of knowledge, Auntie Planty can help your garden look it's best.
