From this, the idea of Local Treasures was born - a company which values life experience and community when matching you with your perfect 'Treasure'.

🌿 Thinking about growing fresh herbs indoors? It’s easier than you think and perfect for adding fresh flavour to your meals all year round!

✨ Best herbs to grow inside:
🌱 Basil
🌱 Mint
🌱 Parsley
🌱 Chives
🌱 Coriander
🌱 Thyme
🌱 Oregano
🌱 Rosemary

☀️ What herbs need:
• 6-8 hours of sunlight daily
• Small pots with drainage
• Light potting soil
• Regular watering (but don’t overwater!)
• A warm spot near a sunny window

💡 No sunny window?
Use a small LED grow light and your herbs will still thrive indoors.

✂️ Pro Tip:
Harvest herbs often to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Never cut more than 1/3 of the plant at once.

🚫 Common mistakes:
• Too much water
• Not enough sunlight
• Pots without drainage holes

🌿 Beginner-friendly combo:
Basil + Mint + Chives + Parsley = easy indoor herb garden success!

Fresh herbs at home = better meals, amazing smells, and a relaxing hobby 🌱✨

It's nearly the end of No Mow May!
When you finally cut your long grass, take extra care to avoid shocking the plants and your lawn's ecosystem:
1. Reduce Height Gradually: Don't take the grass down to its normal short length all at once; lower the blade in increments over a few weeks.
2. Collect the Cuttings: It is crucial to rake and remove the clippings. Leaving thick clumps will smother the wildflowers beneath. Removing them also reduces soil fertility over time, which naturally favors wildflowers over coarse, aggressive grasses.
3. Leave a Permanent Haven: Consider turning a section of your garden into a permanent wildflower patch so you don't have to start from scratch next spring.
