Transform Your Garden This National Gardening Week
Taking place from 27 April to 3 May 2026, this year’s celebration is the ideal time to roll up your sleeves, breathe in that fresh spring air, and get your outdoor space looking its best. And to help you along the way, the STIGA team has rounded up some fun, practical tips to make your garden thrive.
Tip 1: Mow Smart, Not Short
With grass growing faster than ever, it’s tempting to give your lawn a super-close trim. But hold up, when the weather warms up, longer grass is actually your lawn’s best friend.
Keeping the cutting height slightly higher helps create a natural shade canopy, protecting the soil from drying out and keeping your lawn looking lush and healthy.
And if mowing isn’t your idea of fun? Let a STIGA autonomous robot mower do the hard work while you relax and enjoy your perfectly manicured lawn.
Tip 2: Go Green With Battery Power
Sustainability meets convenience with STIGA’s 3 Series battery range. These smart, easy-to-use tools make trimming hedges, tidying flowerbeds, and maintaining lawns effortless.
With adjustable handles, ergonomic grips, and clever onboard charging with wall storage, these tools are always ready when you are, making garden care simpler, cleaner, and quieter.
Tip 3: Veggie Garden, Action Time
If you’re growing your own vegetables, May is a busy (and exciting!) month.
- Sow ‘cut and come again’ salads every few weeks for a steady summer supply
- Move early potatoes outdoors for an earlier harvest
- Plant tomatoes in the greenhouse
- Try blight-resistant varieties for worry-free growing
There’s nothing quite like the taste of home-grown produce and the satisfaction of saying, “I grew that!”
Tip 4: Show Bulbs Some Love
Spring bulbs are starting to fade, which means it’s time to lift and divide overcrowded clumps. This helps keep plants healthy and ensures even better blooms next year.
Looking to add vibrant summer colour? Now’s the perfect time to plant dahlias, bold, beautiful, and guaranteed to turn heads.
Tip 5: Cut Flowers for May Magic
May is bursting with flowers perfect for indoor displays. Tulips, peonies, and other seasonal favourites can brighten your home in minutes.
The STIGA SC 100e battery pruner makes cutting and pruning quick and comfortable, ideal for everything from blooms to bushes.
