Gardening Work during June 2023

This is what we achieved in the Storey Gardens during June 2023:

• Talking to visitors, giving them information cards and selling plants.
• Wall wiring for the espalier apple trees along a section of the Georgian wall in The Tasting Garden with the help of a volunteer from the Lancaster Men’s Hub.
• General weeding and cutting back plants and shrubs that had flowered. For example clearing the border by the hedge in the Copper Beech garden and cutting back aquilegia and sweet rocket from the borders in The Tasting Garden.
• Potting up and labelling plants for sale, planting out.
• Major reorganisation of the plants in pots by the water tanks.

Wildlife sightings and a list of some of the plants in flower during June are reported in a separate post on the Nature blog, click here for the details.
