Grass is always greener

HAVE you ever dreamt of rolling green pastures, grass gently blowing in the breeze, or lush beautiful lawns soft under your bare feet?
Well it’s possible and not as hard as you might think. Pakenham Produce and Saddlery is holding an inaugural “Pasture Day”.
It is an informative and helpful Saturday outing where you can find out just how easy and cost effective achieving stunning green pastures and lawns can be.
Autumn has arrived, the weather has cooled and a nice drop of rain has started to fall around our beautiful part of Victoria.
While the ground is still holding a little warmth, now is the perfect time to rejuvenate your lawns and pasture.
It’s also the right time to look at weed control, fertilising, fixing those bare patches or perhaps even a total re-sow before the weather gets too cool.
Pakenham Produce and Saddlery will have qualified pasture and seed experts as well as agronomists and horticulturalists on hand from 11am until 2pm on Saturday 11 April. Specialists from Stephens Pasture Seeds, Seasol, Silvan-Selecta and our own staff will be available to answer any questions you have, offer solutions to your problems and show you some tips and tricks of their trade
Don’t miss the free barbecue, great specials and give-a-ways. Come down and talk to the team on the corner of Bald Hill Road and Bormar Drive, Pakenham, or check the website for further details.
