Love your lawn
Is your lawn Ab Fab? Is the grass lush and green with no weeds or does it let down the rest of your home and garden?
7th - 15th May is National Love Your Lawn Week - a time to cherish our lawns. They’re part of our heritage and essential for the environment – yet we’re simply not doing enough to protect them.
A healthy, green, weed-free lawn – no matter how big or small - not only enhances a garden but brings kerb
appeal to your home and
adds value to any property.
Keen gardener Joanna Lumley, who is backing National Love Your Lawn Week, says: “For many of us, our fondest childhood memories involve a lawn; long summer afternoons, the hum of lawn mowers, the aroma of freshly cut grass.
“The lawn is as much a part of

“Of course, keeping lawns in pristine condition throughout the year is not easy given our British climate, in fact, the recent harsh winters, together with an increasing trend to patio over lawns or install
wooden decking, have
left Britain’s lawns at
their lowest ebb.
