Get your garden ready for spring with James Wall

There’s something about spring that makes you want to step outside, roll up your sleeves, and get your garden looking its best.

But after months of neglect, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. When is the right time to prune back old growth? What’s the best fertiliser or compost for your soil? When should you plant herbs and veggies so they thrive and reward you with a summer harvest?

Rivervue Retirement Village is proud of its stunning gardens, and we know just how much love and commitment it takes to make them thrive.

To help the community prepare for the season ahead, Rivervue has invited garden guru James Wall – a familiar voice on 3AW – to host a special gardening event.

James, the owner of Gardenworld, has spent more than 15 years helping people bring their gardens to life, and he often jokes that he feels more like a doctor – people bring him their sad lookingplants, and he diagnoses what’s gone wrong.

“We love it when customers come back again and again with their gardening questions,” James said.

“There’s nothing better than helping someone find the right plant and seeing the joy it brings when they take it home.”

Join us at Rivervue on Thursday, September 18 at 1pm. Meet James and hear his practical hints, expert tips, and inspiring advice on how to get your own garden blooming. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and get ready to make this your best gardening season yet.

This is a free gardening session, at Rivervue Retirement Village, 25 Bellavista Drive, Avondale Heights. To book call 1300 298 439 or register online atwww.rivervue.com.au

Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, you’ll take away simple, effective ideas to put into practice straight away.
