Free
clinic set-up to help 'de-stress' Burnham gardeners' plants
 Gardeners
in the Burnham-On-Sea area who need advice on how to 'de-stress'
their plants suffering from 'heat exhaustion' brought on by the
recent heatwave can get free tips and guidance from staff at Sanders
Garden World.
Due
to the lack of rainfall and above average temperatures, the garden
centre is setting up a 'plant clinic' to provide visitors with
advice and tips on how to de-stress their plants during August.
Peter
Burks, Managing Director of Sanders Garden World (pictured), explained:
"Changes in climate are taking their toll on many garden
plants and can cause what is technically known as 'water stress'."
"To
help combat this condition we will be offering free advice and
leaflets about irrigation systems and water-wise gardening techniques
that will turn your garden into a stress-free zone."
During
August, visitors to the garden centre will be able to receive
tips on how to create a water-wise garden. The advice will include
help regarding everything from simple techniques, such as watering
wisely, to more technical guidance on choosing the right plants
and creating perfect soil conditions.

and help keep plants 'de-stressed' this summer.
