CREATIVE GARDEN IDEAS FROM OUR GARDENING TEAM.

Flaming June, the sixth month of the year, takes its name from the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and for this reason June is always considered the best month to get married in.

The flower of the month is the red rose, which has a special importance on Midsummer’s Eve as it is said that any rose picked on Midsummer’s Eve or Midsummer’s day will keep fresh until Christmas!

Also at midnight on Midsummer’s Eve, young girls should scatter rose petals before them and say…
“Rose leaves, rose leaves,
Rose leaves I strew.
He that will love me,
come after me now!"

Then the next Midsummer’s day their true love will magically appear – well who knows, it might work!

Also June 21 is the longest day of the year and is always associated with witches, magic, fairies and dancing……… however there’s nothing magical about our gardening tips for this month, just a few ideas to make life in the garden a little more enjoyable and hopefully rewarding for all the family.

June is a rewarding month in the garden as you start to see the fruits of your past month’s labour. Herbaceous borders come alive with colour and the vegetable patch is full of fresh pickings.
