Hello from all of us at Hilltop Garden Centre! February is a special month for gardeners and romantics at heart. Whether you’re looking to support local wildlife during National Nest Box Week, searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, or looking to get your gardening tools sharpened ready for the months ahead, Hilltop has everything you need. Here’s how we can help you make the most of February!
Stock Up for National Nest Box Week
National Nest Box Week runs from 14th–21st February and is the perfect opportunity to support the birds in your garden. It’s all about providing safe spaces for birds to nest and raise their young, especially as natural nesting sites like old trees and hedgerows become scarcer.
At Hilltop, we have a wonderful selection of bird boxes, feeders, and bird food to help you take part. For a fun family activity, why not try our Paint a Bird Box Kit for just £9.99? It’s a great way to engage kids in nature while adding a unique touch to your garden.
For bird feeding, we have a variety of options, including seed blends, suet pellets, and mealworms. Pair these with our Tom Chambers All Seasons Bird Feeding Station (currently on offer with £5 off) to create the ultimate wildlife haven.
Need advice? Our knowledgeable team is always on hand to help you choose the right products for your feathered friends. Plus, while you’re here, stop by our garden centre cafe for a warming cup of tea or coffee to round off your visit.
