Choose a pot that compliments your planting scheme. Bear in mind that unglazed terracotta is porous and will lose moisture quicker than a glazed pot. 2 Choose your plants Make sure the plants you choose are happy to live in your pot, bear in mind the situation of the pot, is it in a shady or sunny spot? Choose plants that compliment and contrast each other. Vary heights and leaf texture/size, decide on your colour palate. Match the colour of your plants to your pots for a homogenised look, or mix it up if you fancy some drama! 3 Plant up your pot Chose a good quality peat free general purpose compost. Consider the needs of your plants. Drought tolerant plants (think Mediterranean citrus or succulents) will need a free draining soil so add in some grit to stop it getting water logged and give it some pot feet for added drainage. Put a few broken pot shards or polystyrene pieces into the bottom of your pot before you start for extra drainage. Decide on your main central plant then position the others around the edge before planting. Make sure they all have space to spread and will all be visible. Consider where it is to be viewed from, will your pot sit in a corner or be seen from all angles? When you are happy with the positioning of your plants tap them gently out of their pots and firm them in gently. 4 Water your pot Water all your plants really well. The water should run through the whole pot and out of the bottom to encourage the roots to stretch down deeply into the pot. Water thoroughly rather than in small doses. 5 Enjoy the results! Position your chair in the sun next to your pot and admire your hard work. A cold drink will definitely add to your enjoyment! 20 Years Experience Free Estimates 07974 268304 RNwindowcleaning@yahoo.com We are a Chipping Campden family run business specialising in holiday cottage lettings, cleaning & management.

Thank you so much everyone for your generosity. Winners will be announced in the next Campden Bulletin. All proceeds will go directly to helping us to continue to provide our nursing services free of charge to those living with a life limiting illness, and holistic support to their families. Walk the Cotswold Way, Virtually, for Campden Home Nursing The one thing we can all do at the moment is walk, so if you want to get fit, start clocking your miles and walk The Cotswold Way with us (virtually). The distance is 102 miles and speed doesn’t matter – it’s just about completing the miles. You can do it as a team or a family and combine your miles to complete the challenge. The emphasis is on having fun, walking and getting fitter and raising money for Campden Home Nursing. When you sign up, you can create a fundraising page where people can sponsor you, and you’ll be able to upload your Strava maps on your fundraising page to show your progress, as well as photos of the walks you complete. We are charging a minimum admin sign-up fee of £5 for an individual, £10 for a family (a minimum of 1 adult and any number of children) and £15 for a team (a minimum of 3 people) and we would love it if you could get some sponsorship for your efforts. Everyone who completes the walk will receive a medal! We are also planning a garden party in July when all participants can enjoy a bar-b-que in the gardens of Jecca’s House and entrants will be awarded with their medals*. * Providing government guidelines allow. Jecca’s House – update Jecca’s House continues to take shape, and as part of our ongoing drive to create a welcoming and safe environment for our patients when the time comes, our car park is being expanded in line with local planning guidelines. We apologise for any disruption or noise this has caused for our neighbours, or visitors. Many thanks to Stuart Smith, Nathan and the team at Stuart Smith Landscapes for doing a fantastic job with the car park. The work is nearing completion, and we will soon have capacity for 15 extra cars. If you, or any anyone you know, is struggling with grief, our trained counsellors provide a safe, confidential place to talk and your concerns will be heard in a non-judgemental, caring and respectful way. At the moment we are supporting people via phone and Skype. There is no charge for this service if you live within the geographical area we cover.
