60 Years & still growing! An evening and weekend 60 Years & still growing!

An evening and weekend project that started in 1961 grew to a family run business 60 years on 😁

For those who started shopping at Fairweather’s before the current owner Patrick was born, can remember the garden centre building being the old Beaulieu Estate yard vehicle workshop.  Behind the shop, where plants and pots are now sold, were gardens and waste land 6 ft deep in brambles. They were then were slowly developed by the late Christopher Fairweather with help from his wife Aline.

Initially all the shrubs and trees were plunged in to the ground, as pots did not exist and the plants were wrapped in hessian squares when they were lifted for customers.  Soon afterwards, they were potted into old baked bean tins which saved work and allowed customers to serve themselves.

To celebrate 60 years, spend £60 or more before the end of June for a chance to win £1000 of Fairweather's Gift Vouchers.

You will need to be a Reward Card Holder to enter - sign-up by clicking on our bio if you want those gift vouchers to create your dream garden!

🌿 Herbs are essential and are ideal to be grown 🌿 Herbs are essential and are ideal to be grown all through the  year at home. From January they can be grown on a warm windowsill with direct light.

By having them in your garden it's a great way to have fresh ingredients, unlike the jars of herbs in cupboards that ran out 5 years ago!

But what are the most delicious herbs to grow?  We asked Tamarin what herbs she always grows:

The classic Rosemary - is a must have!  Fragrant, evergreen and traditionally paired with lamb.

Basil has a sweet aroma and a strong flavour, you can't beat making your own pesto.

The popular parsley, the world's favourite herb.  Use as a garnish or in sauces.

We have our £5 off seeds offer still running until tomorrow come and choose what you would like to grow.  Let us know your favourite herb 🌿

Tips from Patrick's Patch 🌿 When the weather g Tips from Patrick's Patch 🌿

When the weather gets milder, open up your greenhouse. Especially if you are keeping plants frost free.  It will reduce the humidity and help to reduce any fungal problems.

If you’ve got a cool greenhouse you can start hardy crops off nice and early.  Spinach and kohl rabi sown in February will be ready to harvest in May.  May is quite a lean month in the vegetable garden– too early for spring sown crops and too late for the autumn sown crops -  so it’s good to plan ahead to fill this gap 😃

One idea is to pop a small ball in it, so that it floats around and helps to stop the water freezing 🥎
