Hilltop Garden Centre has been serving the community for over 75 years, providing quality plants, gardening advice, and friendly customer service. As a family-run business, Hilltop is more than just a garden centre; it's a place where gardening enthusiasts of all ages can find inspiration and support. This May, Hilltop has an exciting range of new products and special offers. Let's dive into what's new and what you can look forward to this month.
Summer Hanging Baskets
Caroline has been hard at work in the greenhouse, planting up a beautiful selection of hanging baskets. These vibrant flower-filled baskets are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your garden, balcony, or patio. Hilltop offers a variety of hanging baskets filled with trailing plants, such as petunias, lobelias, fuchsias and more to brighten up your garden, patio or balcony. These hanging baskets are relatively low maintenance, but they do require regular watering, especially during hot weather. To keep them looking their best, remember to deadhead spent blooms and feed them with a suitable plant food.
Arrival of Summer Bedding Plants
Summer bedding plants are arriving at Hilltop Garden Centre, bringing a burst of colour and life to your garden. You can find popular varieties like marigolds, begonias, geraniums and many more. These versatile plants are great for adding interest to garden beds, borders, and containers. Just be mindful of a potential late frost and cover your plants if the temperature drops. To ensure healthy growth, plant them in well-drained soil and use a suitable compost such as our RocketGro Container & Basket Compost (currently on offer for 2 bags for £13), and water regularly. With a bit of care, your summer bedding plants will thrive and create a stunning display for you to enjoy all summer long.
Vegetable Plants and Grow Bags
If you're planning to grow your own vegetables, Hilltop has you covered. We stock a variety of vegetable plants, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lots more! Along with these plants, you can find a range of Grow Bags, like our Tomorite peat-free organic deep planter Grow Bags, as well as Grow Houses for extra protection. Grow Bags are an excellent option for small spaces and can be used on patios or balconies. When planting your vegetable plants in pots or raised beds, choose our RocketGro peat-free fruit and veg compost (currently 2 bags for £13) for the best results. To boost growth throughout the growing season, pick up a bottle of our Tomorite concentrated plant food while you're here - each bottle currently has 20% extra free, but only while stocks last.
