This new garden peach tree really has it all - giving interest from early spring through to autumn and the promise of a crop of juicy peaches! In early spring, the blossom appears, and the bright-pink, saucer-shaped blooms are produced in abundance. Their display is every bit as good as the best ornamental cherries and are a magnet for bees and other friendly insects. Then, as the blossom fades, the foliage appears - each elongated, slender leaf taking on a bronzy hue as it unfolds, offering a lovely contrast to the more familiar greens in the garden. Over the summer, the fruits enlarge and ripen until they're ready to pick in late August. Peaches are deep red when ripe, with sweet yellow flesh. For best results grow in a large pot in a sunny spot in the garden - an ideal spot perhaps being against a south-facing wall. While 'Rubira' is fully hardy in the UK climate, it is best protected from rain during the winter months as this helps avoid leaf diseases. If possible, move under cover, such as to a porch or greenhouse. Alternatively, cover with a tent fashioned from garden polythene. This spectacular tree with delicious fruit is worth the effort!

Natural green-garden waste and fallen leaves in particular are a rich source of nutrients for the garden and one of those lovely natural resources that no gardener should be without, so make sure that you make the most of this great supply of free compost! Come autumn, we get the ideal opportunity to stock up on all that gorgeous leaf litter...however all the leaves fall at once and shorter days mean that your time is limited so we end up with a delicate balancing act between keeping the garden neat and finding somewhere to store that excellent source of organic compost - often we simply end up sweeping them into a pile and then disposing of them. Fortunately, we have the ideal solution! These loose-weave jute sacks can neatly hold thousands of fallen leaves and keep them contained until they break down. Once you have picked up your compostable waste, put it into the handy leaf sacks. They are made from loose woven natural jute, and each one is completely biodegradable. Simply fill them up, add them to your compost heap or a corner of the garden and forget about them. As the sacks are biodegradable, over time, they will break down along with the green waste inside, leaving you with your own homemade compost. After one year, the leaves should have rotted down enough to use as a mulch around the garden, and after two years you should have a perfect soil conditioner. Measurements (approx): L70cm x W40cm

A native of tropical rainforests, Monstera is a houseplant that's easy to keep happy - we recommend that you place it in bright but not direct sunlight indoors and mist the leaves regularly to provide humidity - plus they love a bit of a leaf-wipe now and again to remove dust and restore that glossy sheen.

Famed for her bold, glossy green leaves with striking red-tinted veins, Fiddle is the fashionable ‘It’ houseplant with no sign of budging from her star status. Get to know Fiddle Leaf Fig Difficulty – Fiddle’s a bit of a high-maintenance diva, but let’s be honest – it’s not easy looking this good. Light – Fiddle thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.

Humidity – Place away from hot or cold air drafts and give her a regular misting.
