Volume 1, Issue 1 Christelle Landscapes 20.02.16 Spring 2016 Garden Maintenance INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Garden Maintenance 1 Gardeners Guild 1 New Apprentice 2 Website re-launch 2016 2 Spring lawn care 2 After a long, wet winter we can begin to think about our gardens again. Many trees are beginning to blossom, bulbs are pushing through and we have even received insect bites during January! In short, plants and wildlife are responding to our milder climates. Water logged ground, which is becoming a regular occurrence, is exacerbated by our predominantly clay soils. Adding well rotted manure to the borders can improve drainage with the additional benefits of increasing nutrient levels and microbial activity within the soil. In response, plants will produce strong lush growth and become more resistant to pests and diseases. Rose plants will produce significantly more blooms with the addition of rotted manure If you are interested in our spring manure mulching or you would like a regular fortnightly or monthly garden maintenance slot reserving please contact us. Our garden maintenance service is available from March. Gardeners Guild Membership Christelle Landscapes is a member of The Gardeners Guild, a professional body for qualified gardeners. As a company we regularly invest in updating our skills by gaining industry recognised qualifications. Later this year business partner, Estelle Davis, plans to further her education and embark on an RHS Masters in Horticulture.

Scarify, Aerate And Reseed Tired Lawns Healthy lawns require air to the roots, good drainage and to be weed and moss free. Feed and weed products may help but to really improve the chances of a perfect lawn this summer work needs to be done now. Scarifying will lift the moss and thatch that allows weeds to easily seed and thrive. Aerating the lawn will improve the drainage as well as allowing air to the roots. A top dressing of loam and seed is also recommended. If you are interested in this service and would like more information please contact us for a free quotation. We look forward to seeing you soon!

It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served. It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization. Phone 555 555 0125 Fax 555 555 0145 E-mail E-mail address Your business tag line here. Back Page Story Headline This story can fit 175-225 words. We’re on the Web! Web site address If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance. A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization. A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees. If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization. You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction. If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
