Spring is the perfect time of year to get out of the house and when you visit your garden centre at this time of year, you will never find a better selection of happy, healthy plants.

Gardens R Us in Kingsgrove has grand displays and well set out arrangements of impressive plants that makes it easy to find the plants you are hunting for.

They have all the goodies and products that your plants need at this time of year. By giving them fertiliser and protecting them from the hungry bugs that are out and about looking for tasty and fresh new shoots to feed on, the plants will reward you with flowers and lush green foliage.

Being centrally located you don?t have to travel far to get your gardening inspiration and sometimes a little inspiration is all you need to get started on that garden that you have always dreamt about.

Make sure that dream really does become a reality by choosing the right plants. There is no point buying something that looks pretty if it doesn?t suit the location you are going to put it in, as it won?t take long before it is showing you its ugly side.

For a plant to grow successfully you need to provide it with the correct amount of sunlight, food and soil type it prefers. Don?t think that all plants like to be spoilt either. Some natives and exotics like Lavender (Lavandula) don?t mind a little neglect. Sometimes too much water or fertiliser can do more harm than good.

Once you know what plants you like, follow all the instruction on the back of the plant guarantee and if it still dies then Gardens R Us will replace it for free.

Spring is also the perfect time of year for growing seedlings because of the increase in temperature. They have lots of Oasis Seedlings, especially vegetables. Candle Plant (Plectranthus ecklonii) is also plentiful and its vibrant colours will blow you away.

If you get hungry when you are shopping you can stop at the caf? and you wont have to worry about wasting anytime as you can search for your next purchase as you eat your delicious meal overlooking the plant display.

They have a great range of Guardsman Products, so if you are looking for pots and planters or even screening materials to hide an unsightly view then check them out while you are there.

To make your day even more enjoyable they have made sure there is plenty of parking available as they know that struggling for a car park can put a real dampener on an enjoyable shopping trip.
