#toptips Set potted Garden Mums indoors near a window that receives bright, indirect sunlight all day, or place them outdoors where they can receive five hours of morning sunlight and afternoon shade #weloveplants

When #Autumn rolls in, most of the flowers in our gardens are dying off but the #chrysanthemum is just beginning to bloom. Found in an array of colours, it has a rich history of folklore and myth behind it & have been used in medicine and magic for a long time #weloveplants

New for week 36, our MixedMasters are a super selection of free flowering Violas. The large blooms in a range of sparkling colours flower for months on end #weloveplants

Plants can make a big positive difference to your #mentalhealth #WednesdayWisdom

Up to 1/3 of the food we eat every day, including the berries we grow at Keelings, relies on pollination from bees, among other species. 🐝 Show some love for our busy bees today, & visit us at @bloominthepark to learn more!

[O'Connor Nurseries @OC_Nurseries]

#WorldBeeDay With bees declining at a rapid rate it has become widely important that we encourage the use of suitable plants and crops for bee pollination. Yellow Bidens petal edges radiate from golden yellow centers a sweet, honeylike fragrance attracting bees & butterflies

There is strong evidence to suggest that spending time in nature, feeling the soil, absorbing some sunlight and being exposed to the elements promotes not just physical health, but emotional wellbeing #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

The diversity of insects that forage on lavender is quite astounding, even though they are only foraging for nectar, not pollen. Bumble bees move much more swiftly, they work the flowers much quicker and they are the most abundant in terms of numbers #weloveplants

#DidYouKnow that May Flowers were picked the evening before #MayDay and were assembled together to make posies or crowns using yellow flowers, such as primroses, buttercups & marigolds were especially popular as they reflected the sun & summer 😃💐👑
