Inspired to buy flower seeds by the RHS Chelsea Flower Show?
Whether or not you got to experience this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 22-26th May, or have instead perhaps bought the official DVD or read about it in the newspaper, all of the fervour surrounding this major event in the gardening calendar may just have encouraged you to buy seeds online from a supplier such as http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk. But how much do you know about the correct use of flower seeds, particularly if you are not an experienced gardener?
Evidence of the inspiration that so many people continue to derive from such events that flaunt the most inventive new gardens includes the brand new Chelsea Fringe festival. Running until 10th June, this brand new, currently entirely volunteer-run initiative is giving people the chance to act on their interest in gardening, with an eclectic range of events that encompasses everything from avant-garde art installations to grassroots community garden projects. Although it is being held in support of the Flower Show, it is also entirely independent of it.
With events taking place across North, South, East and West London, the Chelsea Fringe is certainly doing its bit to inspire a whole new generation of gardeners. But if you are unable to make any or all of the Chelsea Fringe’s events for geographical or other reasons, and this is also your first experience of ordering mail order seeds and the various other accessories that we stock, you may appreciate a general introduction to certain horticultural topics.
That is one reason why you can find an extensive selection of distance learning horticulture courses on our website, including RHS courses that have been developed and assembled by professional horticulturists. These courses provide a strong grounding of horticultural knowledge to those with an interest in using the internet to buy seeds, and appeal not only to hobbyist gardeners but also those that would like to thrive in the various branches of horticulture as a career.
But of course, there’s no reason why you can’t make your own first attempts at gardening without this formal training or advice. If you do, then there are many online sources of advice on the effective use of flower seeds, including this blog. By adhering to certain common sense tips, such as only watering your seeds lightly with a watering can so as to simulate a light rain shower, as well as planting seeds a reasonable distance apart in good quality, nutrient-rich soil, you can quickly build self-confidence as a gardener.
So, our advice is to enjoy events such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for what they are – showcases of some of the most ingenious gardens. As for yourself, start small, be careful when it comes to choosing which seeds for sale from http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk you start off with, and most importantly, enjoy yourself while gardening!
