HIGHLIGHT ON HYDRANGEAS.

You just can't beat a Hydrangea for late Summer and Autumn colour in the garden.
They are tough hardy plants that seem to thrive in most locations in our area, from high up in the mountains to right down near the sea, in the shade and out in full sun. The secret to success with Hydrangeas is water, this must be why they like North Wales !
Every garden has space for a Hydrangea, from a container on a patio to a majestic drift along a the driveway. They suit a formal setting or a contemporary style, the cottage garden and a woodland setting. Which space do you have ?
Hydrangeas flower for several months every year and potentially for decades making them a great investment for your outdoor space.
Hydrangeas have so many different flower colours, shapes and sizes why not come in and have a look ? Which one would you choose ?

THE GARDEN ROOM GRAND OPENING

TWO LOCAL FAMILY RUN BUSINESSES UNITE TO COLLABORATE ON EXCITING PROJECTS
Peninsula Home Improvements in Gaerwen and Fron Goch Garden Centre in Caernarfon are collaborating on a number of exciting projects to grow their business to new levels while offering their customers quality products that have synergy.

The two family run and award winning businesses see the enormous potential in working together. Ken Grayson, CEO of Peninsula comments; “Fron Goch is a like-minded business which shares the same values and ethos of high levels of service and quality products, and as we both promote a healthier lifestyle through outdoor living this collaboration is a natural fit not just for us but also for our customers.

“Our first project together is the installation of a Garden Room in Fron Goch’s Summer Living Area. This is a bespoke glass canopy with bifolding glass doors designed to extend living space, while offering homeowners the enjoyment of outdoor living long past summer due to its precision engineered and optimum weather protection. Construction will begin soon and we’re looking forward to the unveiling at Fron Goch’s Furniture Launch Weekend on Saturday 17 March.”

The Garden Room is the first installation for Peninsula outside of its own showroom and as a statement piece it will be furnished with Fron Goch’s new Bramblecrest furniture to show, and also inspire homeowners on how they can make full use of their gardens all year round. 

Justin Williams, managing director of Fron Goch said; “We all know there are many health benefits to outdoor living and this partnership with Peninsula is about working with a company that has a strong reputation like us to bring a more rounded lifestyle to our customers. We’re delighted the Garden Room will be opened during our Furniture Launch Weekend which is all about making full use of your garden whether that be to grow vegetables or flowers, or an area for entertaining friends and family. This is a celebration of the longer and hopefully sunny days ahead and is the perfect start for our partnership which we see has huge potential for the future.”

Fron Goch’s Furniture Launch Weekend on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 March is the start of its Summer of Outdoor Living which will see the introduction of new Conservatory and Garden Furniture, Kadai Fire Bowls, solar lighting and summer accessories as well as Peninsula’s Garden Room.

Autumn time is planting time !

  

Hydref ydi'r amser I blannu!
Hydref ydi yr amser traddodiadol, a'r amser gora I blanu bron bob dim.
Fel mae'r dydd yn byrhau, mae'r tyfiant uwchben y ddaear yn arafu. Ond o dan y pridd mae hi'n stori hollol wahanol. Mae hi'n brysur Iawn o dan y pridd .

Gan bod y ddaear dal yn llaith a chynnes, mae hyn yn hybu tyfiant gwreiddiau. A mae'r gwreiddiau yma yn ei twrn yn hybu a chefnogi tyfiant yr holl blanhigyn y flwyddyn nesaf.
Mae hi'n ddiwrnod hyfryd I gerdded o gwmpas yr ardd a phanned yn breddwydio am forderi hardd y flwyddyn nesaf.. On rwan ydi'r amser I droi'r freuddwyd yn ffaith, cerwch ati I balu a phlanu!

Autumn is traditionally the best time for planting almost everything.

As the days get shorter, plant growth above ground begins to slow down and become less vigorous, however underground in the root zone it's a whole different matter, it's very busy down there in the dirt!

At this time of year the ground is still warm and quite moist, these are ideal conditions for great root growth and good roots are the key to healthy growth and a better performance in following years.

It's a beautiful day for having a wander round the garden with a cup of tea, making plans for next year, considering new additions or a complete new border and now is the time for action!

After Care Advice for your Katie Blake Chatworth Collection

After Care Advice for your Katie Blake Chatworth Collection

Materials

We use the finest raw materials including the highest quality Aluminium for our large and heavy gauge frames.

The Rattan weave has been selected for strength and fading. Tested for outdoor use from -40°C to +40°C you can be sure that Katie Blake is ideal for the UK and European market.

Our Cushions are all made to British Standard 5852 Fire and Safety specifications ensuring safe storage inside your home. For our cushions we use 100% Polyester providing a rot free finish. Whilst the cushions are treated with a shower proof finish we do not recommend leaving them out permanently as they will deteriorate much faster! They should be stored away when not in use in a dry environment to avoid mould.

We also recommend that a Katie Blake Night Cover should be purchased and during the summer you can leave your cushions under the cover. Again we do not recommend leaving your cushions our during the winter even under the cover.

Guarantee

Katie Blake Garden Furniture 10 Year Guarantee

Katie Blake Garden Furniture has been made using the finest raw materials. The frames for our Tables and Chairs are made using high grade Aluminium which cannot rust and the Rattan Weave is resistant to all weathers. Whilst we recommend the use of a Katie Blake Waterproof Cover especially through the winter months it is not essential. If you do not invest in a cover the Rattan will need a good clean in the spring as it will get dirty particularly with Bird Droppings and general dirt in the atmosphere.

What our guarantee does cover:

We give a full 10 year Guarantee against faulty workmanship for both the frames and the Rattan Weave. The Rattan will have some fading over that time but it will be hardly noticeable. The Rattan is not affected by spilling wine, chlorine or many other chemicals used in the garden. In general we guarantee that if used under normal domestic conditions your furniture should last a minimum of 10 years and we will either repair or replace your furniture.

What the guarantee does not cover:

• Abuse such as scratching or cutting the rattan weaves.
• Burning and or melting the Rattan such as cigarette burns.
• Picking the Rattan, something Children or Animals might do.
• The Cushions and Fabrics are not part of this Guarantee.
• The Parasol if supplied with a dining set is not covered.
• Damage caused by using the parasol without a Stürdi Base.
• Damage caused by leaving the Parasol in the table during windy conditions.
• Accidently cutting the Rattan when opening the cartons with a sharp knife.
• Scuffing the Rattan by dragging the furniture over rough surfaces.
• Bending the frame by standing on the furniture.
• Strong winds which might lift the furniture and move it causing damage.

At Glencrest Seatex we are always happy to offer advice about looking after you Furniture. Your Katie Blake Furniture will give you many years of service. Should you need to replace the Parasol and or cushions please do not hesitate to contact us. We do change our fabric colours every three years so it might be that your furniture and or cushions are no longer available in the colour you originally purchased.
