Half-Term at Newnham Court

Half-Term Garden Projects

Garden projects can be a great way to get all the family together over the holidays or at the weekend and now is a good time for preparing your garden for spring, with plenty for the kids to do:

• Build a Vegetable Garden - this is a really good thing to do in February to get prepared for spring. We have all the equipment you need and Notcutts' friendly experts will help advice you on the best vegetables to thrive in your own particular garden.
• Bulbs for summer colour - now’s the time to be planting your summer0flowering bulbs into pots. You can also plant hardy annuals like Cosmos and perennials like geraniums, most of which are dormant in February but plant them now and they’ll be off to a great start when the spring comes. Notcutts’ friendly staff will be happy to tell you everything you need to know and point you in the right direction of
• Wildlife & Bird feeding projects - If you want to encourage more wildlife of all kinds into your garden, then this is a great time to get prepared… In a month or so, birds will be looking for nesting places, so now’s the time to pop up a bird box or two on trees or walls around your garden. Just make sure they’re out of reach of local cats and dogs! Bug Hotels and Bee Hotels are also brilliant to install now, in good time for when all those little insects emerge from their winter hiding places to find new homes for the spring. Find all you need in the pets and wildlife section of Notcutts Garden Centre.

If your children’s school shoes are looking a little battered after a hard winter or their uniform is never going to make it through the spring/summer terms, why not get ahead of the game and get down to Simmonds. They have all the local school uniform (and many more besides), sportswear and shoes to

Duke of Edinburgh and Festival Kit

It will soon be time for Duke of Edinburgh training and if you head to Cotswold Outdoor, the intrepid experts will be able to kit you out with everything your teenager needs for camping and hiking and it can then double up for festival-going later in the year!

Don't forget that we've got some great cafes to keep you sustained while you shop, and maybe grab a Chinese takeaway when you're done from Noble House.

Have a happy Half-Term holiday!
