Nicholsons win the OX5 Corporate Cup...again!
A huge well done to the Nicholsons team who stormed the field on the OX5RUN at Blenheim on Saturday.
It is with great pleasure to say that despite tackling the awful weather
conditions, our efforts did pay off as we managed to win the Corporate Cup
as the fastest corporate team in the race this year.
All funds raised went towards supporting young patients of the Oxford Children's Hospital.

HS2 Screen Planting
Recently completed planting to screen the new HS2
development.
A former client of ours has recently been forced to
move house and garden due to the fact that the HS2 train line is due to pass
through their kitchen! The reality of the certainty of the route alignment
means that, if the route is close to your house rather that actually running
through it, now is the time to plant screening trees and shrubs. The photo
above shows a screening belt recently planted for another one of our clients. It has both evergreen and deciduous species
including Field maple, Evergreen Oak, Hawthorn, Holly and Hazel. This planting
will grow and will provide a complete screen in about 10 years’ time against
the new rail line, while enhancing the view for many others and adding a
valuable wildlife corridor linking local habitats.
If you are affected by HS2 and would like to discuss
the possibility of screening with planting do get in touch with Nicholsons. We
can advise on species and location for screening and we also supply screen
plants and have an efficient planting and aftercare service to ensure the best
establishment of your investment.

Blenheim Horse Trials 2014
As Nicholsons are one of the sponsors of the horse trials Charlie Harper and his girlfriend Nicola went to represent the company at the drinks reception on the first day. They were introduced
to the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough on the way into the main library, where they mingled with other sponsors and took in the luxurious interior of the palace
whilst quaffing champagne. Now that's what I call eventing!

Lorraine's favorite plant combination for July
Hosta Tardiana Halcyon - common name
Hosta
A member of
the Asparagaceae family, this clump forming perennial has smooth, veined,
blue-grey leaves, with lilac grey bell shaped flowers in dense racemes in July
and August.
Requires
partial shade in a fertile, moist and well drained soil in a sheltered position
and also requires protection from slugs.
Plant in a large container to make a bold
statement in a shady part of the patio.
Acer palmatum ‘Suminagashi’
A member of
the Sapindaceae family, this stunning Japanese Acer has deeply divided foliage
with serrated edges, the purple red spring foliage darkens to deep magenta in
summer, then turns crimson in autumn.
Prefers a
sheltered position in partial shade in acid-neutral soil.
Plant in a
container to make a strong architectural focal point.
The colour of
the Acer foliage makes a fantastic contrast with the blue-green foliage of the
Hosta; this combination could also be successfully utilized as temporary infill
in bare patches in the border between spring and summer flowering
perennials.

Blenheim Flower Show 2014
Nicholsons team have just finished putting together our show garden for The Blenheim Flower Show.
The garden has been designed and built by Nicholsons to raise awareness of The Valley Girls’ fund raising
trip to India in February 2015 in aid of British Heart Foundation, Vasculitis, Oxford Radcliffe Hospital & Southampton Hospital.
The lines of plants are inspired by the growing beds on our nursery; row upon row of perfect planting. They are all brought together in the containers to enclose a private garden with an authentic Kadai firebowl for cooking and for keeping warm on chillier evenings. Exotic scented climbers frame the entrance to the shelter with handmade candle lanterns casting a soft light at night. The packing cases used as containers remind us of the trade links between the UK and India.
This garden is entirely built by recycling materials found around our nursery in North Aston, Oxfordshire. The plants are all borrowed from our nursery, the packing cases salvaged from our wood fuel pile and the shelter reused from a previous show.
It was important to us to know that the materials will be recycled afterwards too. The plants will go back to the nursery to be used on landscape schemes and to be sold in our tree and hedging centre, the pallets will be chipped and used to fuel our woodchip boiler.
The Flower Show is open from 20th -22nd June so do drop in and say hello if you are there.

Muscari stripes
Muscari bedding at one of our gardens recently.
This site was planted with 11000 Muscari bulbs by the soft landscape team last October to create blue stripes across the lawn for spring interest.
Muscari aucheri Blue Magic was used as it is noninvasive and the flowers are double headed so give twice the effect.
