Things to do in October:

October is perfect for planting new tress and shrubs as the soil warms up, and will ensure they are well established before the heat of summer.
Fertilise all of your potted plants and Pot-up crowded or root bound potted plants.
Keep an eye on your citrus and fruit trees for pests such as Fruit Fly, Leaf Miner and Codling Moth. Prune back into shape, fertilise and mulch well.
Weed and fertilise your lawns, de-thatching and aerating where necessary.
Prune roses if you have not already or after flowering, taking care to use sterilised secateurs. Remove all the dead and crossing branches, prune to an outward facing bud so that you provide a nice open shape.
The vegetable patch needs a good going over to get your summer vegetables planted, with a few ideas below:

Beans, Beetroot, Cabbage, Capsicum, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber. Eggplant, Leek, Lettuce, Melons, Pumpkin, Radish, Rhubarb, Silverbeet, Spring Onion, Squash, Sweet Corn, Tomatoes and Zuchinni

The great indoors, a place where most people spend the majority of their time instead of in their gardens and miss out on the benefits of having plants around them. All is not lost however as there is no reason why you should not also have a thriving indoor garden !

The aesthetic benefits of having plants break up the harsh walls, corners and furnishings is obvious, but did you know that you will also be doing your health a very big favour ? Yes that's right, indoor plants and gardens can be very good for you indeed.

VOC's or Volatile Organic Compounds build up within indoor spaces making the home and office a potentially polluted place to be spending so much of your time. With careful plant selection and placement, your indoor garden will chew up these VOC's and therefore assist in cleaning the air you breath, making it a much healthier and happier place to be.

Let us come to you and design a healthy indoor package specific for your indoor office or home environment.
