🫧Sprinkler reminder!
We’re two weeks out from the end of the winter sprinkler switch‑off — which means now is the perfect time to check your system before it kicks back on.

If you’ve got drippers, pop-ups or sprays - it's important to check for clogs or splits so you're ready to go in spring.

💧 Are your drippers flowing evenly?
🌱 Any leaks or splits in the line?
🔧 Do your sprinklers rotate and pop up properly?
🕒 Is your controller set to the right days and times?

A little layer goes a long way.🪵

If you haven’t freshened your garden beds yet, now’s the perfect time. Mulch keeps your soil moist, cool, and happy - and your plants will love you for it.

Here’s why mulch matters:
✳️ Fewer weeds
✳️ Healthier soil as it breaks down
✳️ Better water retention
✳️ Stronger, more resilient plants

Our top picks for Perth gardens:
🌾 Lupin mulch
🌿 Pea straw
🌱 Wood chips for natives

Happy gardening!🌿

Winter weeds really try their luck - paths, lawns, garden beds, you name it.
But nothing beats an after photo when the whole place looks fresh again.

💛 Walking Trail of the Month: Lake Monger 💛

If you’re looking for a beautiful, easy walk, Lake Monger delivers every time. With sweeping water views, loads of birdlife (including stunning black swans 🦢), and plenty of spots to stop and soak it all in, it’s one of the best winter wanders around.

The main loop trail is about 3.5 km, flat and family‑friendly. Keep an eye out for native plants, ducks, and those cheeky long‑neck turtles if you’re lucky.

Happy walking.🚶‍♂️‍➡️🚶‍♀️

🌿 Last call for winter rose pruning!
If you haven’t given your roses their annual winter haircut yet… this weekend is it! 🌹🏵️

August is your final window to prune before the spring growth kicks in. A good prune now means:
✂️ stronger stems
🌸 bigger blooms
🌱 healthier plants
💪 fewer pests and diseases

So roll up your sleeves and show those roses some love. Your spring garden will thank you for it! 🌹✨

And if you don't have time, get in touch and we'll see if we can fit you in spring. 🤞

🌿 August Flower of the Month: Kangaroo Paw
Bold colours. Iconic shape. Pure WA magic. This native thrives in the sun and brings instant life to any garden 💚

Late winter into early spring (August–September) is one of the best planting windows for the Kangaroo Paw because:

🌱 Soil is moist from winter rains
🌞 Days are warming up, encouraging new growth
🌬️ Heat stress is low, giving roots time to establish
🦘 Spring flowering is boosted if planted now

They love full sun, sandy soil, and good drainage. You can find them at your local nursery this weekend.
Happy planting!
