Kim visits Barrow and Bench
Episode: # 30 22/12/07
Presenter: Kim Syrus
It’s nearly Christmas Day, and if you’re anything like Kim you’ve still got plenty of things to organise including those last minute presents and sorting out the yard for Christmas lunch. To help you out, Kim dropped into the Barrow and Bench Mitre 10’s at Glenunga and Malvern and picked up some great garden gifts and outdoor solutions for the big day.
Christmas lunch under a lovely shady tree is an Aussie tradition. Trouble is when those uninvited guests drop in and we’re not talking about the long lost rellies. It’s the flies and mozzies that can quickly ruin your time outside. To counter this attack, look at using some sandalwood sticks, citronella candles or a Mortein Lantern to keep the mozzies at bay.
When it comes to getting rid of flies, the Envirosafe Fly catcher is the best. Simply mix the contents of the sachet with warm water and hang in a tree. It’ll be filled with blowies before you know it. The only thing is it pongs a little so best keep it downwind of the Xmas turkey.
Garden gifts are great and the best part is there’s always something for everyone, no matter what the age. How about a tiny table and chairs, a pair of kids gloves, a cute set of tools and a mini wheelbarrow for the budding gardener. You’ll have the perfect child’s garden set.
You can never have enough garden tools so the futuristic Bahco forks and spades will be a real winner.
Plants are the gift that lives. A water smart, long flowering and in most cases fragrant rose makes a wonderful present and best of all you can get it gift wrapped by at the Glenunga or Malvern Mitre 10 stores.
How about giving someone the start of a veggie garden, by combining a range of seeds, a bag of raising mix and a mini green house. Plant up a herb pot with a variety of different herbs, mix and match the one’s you know the person likes.
The Yates Garden Guide, now in its 42 edition, is a beauty. It’s filled with all the great garden information anyone will ever need to keep their yard looking fantastic. This is only the start of garden related gift ideas, so take a visit to Barrow and Bench Mitre10 on either Portrush Road, Glenunga or at Unley Road, Malvern for plenty more garden gift ideas.
