The Sarah Raven Give-Away!
I am so pleased to announce another give-away!
This time I have teamed up with the beautiful Sarah Raven and her team, they have so kindly offered me one of their collections from the new Autumn catalogue to give-away. It was so hard to choose, the catalogue is filled to the brim with so many beautiful flowers! The collection that I have chosen however, is the stunning Venetian Tulip Collection consisting of 45 bulbs!
This stunning collection flowers from mid April to May, and will brighten up your pots and borders this year. All our tulip collections come with each variety in a separate bag, so you can decide exactly where to plant each colour.
The collection is made up of 3 different bulbs, an equal part each of :
- Tulip ‘Couleur Cardinal’,
- Tulip ‘Paul Scherer’
- Tulip ‘Prinses Irene’
Our tulip bulbs are the best and biggest we can find, from tried and trusted growers. Don’t forget that tulips like to be planted late in October and November with the colder weather, and need a little watering if planted in pots.
Oh and to make things even better, they have decided to include a packet of Munchkin Pumpkins seeds in the give-away along with the tulip collection! How nice is that? If you want to know more about the munchkin pumpkins then please feel feel to read my last blog post. I cannot recommend growing these enough, they taste delicious, are easy to grow, look great and climb really well!
All you have to do is comment below with your first name and surname before the 21st of September. The winner will then be selected at random. Good Luck!
Heres the small print:
- UK Residents only.
- If for some reason the selected items are unavailable, a suitable alternative will be found.

This combination of colours is so beautiful, I love Sarah Raven’s style! I even spent a week volunteering in her garden once and one of the jobs I did was taking the tulip bulbs out of the very containers pictured above and replanting with dahlias. I hope tp go back some day soon…
