    Received a text today from someone who needs me to add some colour to her garden, as her garden will be used for a friends wedding in April

    I have not seen the garden and have never met the woman (word of mouth from someone who I work for)

    repiled saying that I will contact her on sunday to make an appointment with her and see the garden ... not sure on what date the wedding is (could be in the beginning or late in the month)

    don't want to go unprepared, so had a quick look at my database and come up with the following: (these are plants that 'peak' in April i.e they look at their best)

    Aubretia Royal Mixed
    Auricula Mixed
    Erysimum
    Erythronium
    Hyacinth
    Bluebells
    Iris Dwarf
    Lavender Munstead
    Anemone coronaria Lord Lieutenant
    Omphalodes Starry Eyes / navelwort
    Phlox Clouds of Perfume
    Primrose Belarina
    Tulip
    Primula
    Clematis armandii
    Crocus Mixed
    Daffodils
    Daisy / Bellis Pomponette Mixed

    if she agrees to my prices, there still is time to plant bulbs, and will sort the rest in the beginning of spring .... will also look at filling gaps with bright coloured heucehera ... and a few hanging baskets with training heucherella etc .... will also suggest greening up the lawn in the beginning of spring

    any other suggestions? .... I know its difficult without seeing a pic, and I have no clue on what the garden looks like, or what she likes (or what her budget is)

    If she just wants planted containers about the place then you have no problems. Let us know when you have more info.:dbgrtmb:
