As the excitement builds for the Euros, Dobbies, the UK’s leading garden centre, announces its guide to the ultimate summer garden party experience. With Scotland’s entry into the tournament on 14 June and England quickly following on the 16 June, Dobbies presents expert tips and top-quality products to ensure your garden is the perfect spot to gather family and friends to celebrate the summer of sport, beyond the Euros into the Paris Olympics and Wimbledon.
Prepare the garden
Before the whistle blows, ensure your garden is match-ready with a spring clean. If you have been maintaining your garden through early spring, this will be an easy job. From sprucing up flower beds to clearing out clutter, Dobbies has all the essentials to transform your outdoor space into a lush, inviting venue for the big game.
One of the simplest ways to tidy up your garden is by neatening your beds and borders for the growing season, removing weeds and applying a good layer of mulch over the surface with organic compost. Not only will mulching help tidy up the appearance of your garden and impress your guests, but it will break down into the soil and give your plants a nutrient boost for spring.
There is a whole new range of Dobbies own brand gardening tools in store and online priced from £4.99, which will really help with those pre-party cleaning sessions.
