Rose Care Seminars & Newsletter
Seminars are conducted on rose care and gardening
throughout the year and Diana & Graham can be heard regularly on 3CR
(855 AM dial) on a gardening program, aired on the second Sunday of each
month. We produce a quarterly Newsletter
to keep our customers up to
date with new products, garden care and advice.
GUARANTEE
All roses sold from the Nursery come with a 3 month guarantee,
from the time of purchase.
Rose plants sold here are grown on virus
tested root stock, making them very drought tolerant, thus they will
last for years in our Australian environment. All plants are
Australian grown in the famous Coonawarra Grape growing area of
South Australia and in winter, they are potted in recycled plastic
pots ready to plant in gardens everywhere.
One day, we'll write a book and tell you the whole story …
in the meantime, enjoy your roses!
Diana & Graham Sargeant
P.S.: With such a busy time all around us, we need,
now more than ever, the solace of the garden as a space to unwind,
reflect and be peaceful ... maybe get our hands dirty and allow Nature
to nurture us.
Recent research findings indicate that ...
" ... gardening is actually
saving people's lives and extending them. Not only is gardening now
considered to be of medical benefit in terms of exercise, it also
involves contact with plant life, increasing the benefits even further.
For example, an hour of gardening a day can reduce your risk of dying
prematurely by 28% and help reduce coronary heart disease and
other chronic illnesses.
Just thinking about plants affects our
physiology for the better. Simply visualizing images of nature scenes
induces significantly greater relaxation ... Caring for plants has often
been found to be so engrossing that people lose track of time: soft
fascination at work! ... "
The above quotation was taken from a truly interesting book about
how television is damaging our lives and what we can do about it ..
"Remotely Controlled" by Dr. Aric Sigman is an interesting read and we
recommend this book, especially to parents!
