Get a head start by planning your summer garden in March. Whether it will be filled with blooming flowers, delicious tomatoes and climbing snow peas, you will find the seeds at Nelson Garden.
Depending on your location and climate zone, March and April are a good time to pre-cultivate sweet peas and broad beans. When you pre-cultivate inside you increase the chances of harvesting in early summer, since the seeds get a chance to develop and grow strong inside.
Vermiculite and Perlite are both light, gritty grains that barely weigh anything at all, but although they look similar, they have different characteristics.
Choose Vermiculite for starting seeds and for plants that need a moisture-retaining soil.
Choose Perlite when repotting or for your plants that need a sandy and well-drained soil.
Use them together to improve soil structure and properties. Mix two parts soil with one part Perlite and one part Vermiculite.
When we buy bouquets from a florist, they have usually tied the bouquet together using a method called the spiral technique, something that can require a bit of practice to get right. With this technique, it’s easy to add a flower where needed or remove and reposition flowers if there are too many.
Nelson Garden was founded in 1933 with the vision to make cultivation and gardening even more joyful.
It all started in a kitchen sofa in southern Sweden. Today, we are a leading player in the horticultural industry.

By forming bonds with the natural world, we can experience the connection between all living things and understand how they depend on each other. Just as flowers, plants, and vegetables grow, so do we. And when people are in harmony with nature, we tend to live and act more sustainably, have healthier lifestyles, and contribute to the world around us.
