Plant of The Week
"Pulmonaria"

A good addition to any garden, Pulmonaria - commonly known as "Lungwort" . It has a long history of being used in medicine to treat respiratory illnesses.
It thrives in all conditions but is best planted in shade, so perfect under trees.
Loved by Bumblebees as it flowers from February to May, available in many colours with "Diana Clare" being one of the best varieties.
Trim back after flowering.

Plant of The Week
"Primula Auricula".
A stunning little garden plant, commonly known as "Bears Ears" . Its origins are in the Central European Mountains but hundreds of years of breeding have created some eye-catching varieties, especially in the "show" types. They have been grown in the UK since the 1700's but the Victorians really fell for them, showing them off in "Auricula Theatres" as in the picture .
The Show varieties are best grown in terracotta pots with well drained soil based compost, but the "Border" Varieties that are widely available can be planted in pots or a sunny border with a little grit added for drainage. A great place to see a great display is at Harrogate Flower Show .

What a fantastic day at the new Pickering market organised by This Little Piggie. It was great to meet so many people and spend time giving advice about what to plant where and hopefully helping to solve a few gardening problems.

I will be at the next market on 27th April outside Beck Isle Museum. Make sure that you follow my page as I have some really lovely plants that I am getting ready for future market stalls, and I will share more details with you in the coming weeks.

Don't forget that if you need advice, coaching or tuition just get in touch by emailing [email protected] or telephone 07815 765496. Further details about my services are at www.gdgardencoach.com.

All set for the first monthly Saturday market tomorrow with Bramble Berry Markets and This Little Piggie in Pickering. I will be outside Beck Isle Museum, Pickering from 10am to 3pm with a good selection of quality plants for your garden.
