We’re thrilled the sun is finally gracing us with its presence, signaling the long-awaited arrival of spring. With visions of leisurely afternoons in our gardens, indulging in barbecues and unwinding with sundowners on warm evenings becoming increasingly tangible, we believe the moment has arrived to prepare our gardens for the summer ahead. Behold! As if summoned by our collective desire, we present a post dedicated to our outdoor garden range. How handy!

These betulias are a tolerant and hassle-free variety of the begonia species making them a fab choice for a low-maintenance garden this season. For optimum blooms, pop these beauties in a shady spot where they will be protected from the afternoon sun. Keep them moist and feed them every few weeks during the summer.

The British-grown Hydrangea Garden Bundle is a duo of large hydrangeas in either pink, white or blue. They are of the mop-head variety of hydrangea and will continue to produce big, colourful clusters of blooms for a gorgeous injection of colour. We love to position several pots of similar heights together on a patio to create a container garden. Or you can add extra interest with varied heights. Try turning some unused pots or zinc buckets upside down and use them as a makeshift plant base.

In 2024, the color lavender continues to enchant and captivate with its timeless elegance and soothing charm. So why not give your garden a stylish edge with our potted Lavender? Here at TLB, we think it doesn’t need to be digital when the real thing is this lovely. The gorgeous stoneware that they come potted in will guarantee your outdoor space is beautifully on-trend. These floral beauties prove to be a popular choice year after year and it’s not hard to see why. With its stunning purple hues, unmistakable calming scent and ability to attract pollinators, lavender really is a winning choice for a stylish outdoor space.

Dot these lovelies along window sills, on outdoor tables or even plant them into a border. Keep them fresh by watering and pruning them regularly.

Staying on the purple theme, take a look at our Wisteria. Measuring up to 70cm with distinctive purple blooms and vibrant green leaves, these outdoor plants are just beautiful. And not only do they look fabulous, but they are also totally hardy and hassle-free. This makes them a good choice for a low-maintenance garden. Thanks to their versatility and ability to grow and grow, they are a fab option if you’re looking for something to become a real focal point in your outdoor spac

During their first year, they will need watering regularly and once they are established, you’ll only need to give them water during dry periods.

Similarly, the striking Fuchsia-Hanging-Plant. are equally as attractive, long-lasting and easy-care as their petunia pals. They will thrive with a drink twice a week, they like a spot that shields them from the afternoon sun and they’ll benefit from deadheading when needed.

Your herbs will arrive in growing pots allowing you to choose whether you plant them for a stunning herby border or pop them into a decorative pot. The muted colours of our charcoal and stoneware pots complement these herbs perfectly and they’re perfectly sized for the herb mix growing pots.

Water your herbs regularly to keep them fresh and give them a good trim to keep the new growth coming. If you choose to plant them in your garden be sure to keep them weed-free and prune away any older leaves about once a month.

If you love the idea of a herb garden but your outdoor space is on the smaller side, panic not, we’ve got you covered. Create your very own vertical garden with the Plantbox-Outdoor-Living-Wall-with-Herbs. This kit contains everything you need to create a stunning vertical garden filled with a selection of British-grown, fragrant herbs. The clever system incorporates troughs that hold enough water for at least a week so you don’t need to water them every day, happy days for busy or forgetful people!

The importance of looking after the bee population has been a hot topic in recent years. The population of many species of bees is in decline which is a worrying situation. As pollinators, they are vital to the continued survival of certain flowers, plants and crops – without them many types of fruits, nuts and berries would not exist!

The good news is that we can all do our bit by committing to plant some bee-friendly plants and flowers in our gardens. Our beautifully packaged Seedboms, the Beebom and the Wildbom, are a simple way to make a difference and help save the bees. Simply scatter the mix of seeds in your garden and before long you’ll have a beautiful burst of vibrant flowers growing in your garden, attracting lots of busy bees and other pollinators. Scatter these seeds between March and June to see them flower this summer or between August and October for next year.

We hope you’ve enjoyed reading all about our garden range. If we’ve inspired you to transform your outdoor space this spring we’d love to see some pictures.
