April in the garden – sowing, planting, and dreaming of colour

April in the garden – sowing, planting, and dreaming of colour

April is the month when the garden truly awakens. The first flowers brighten the borders, fruit trees are in bloom, and bees and bumblebees are buzzing all around. The days are getting longer, the sun shines more often – and we feel the irresistible urge to dig into the soil.

Sowing in April – even in shady spots

April is the perfect time to sow annual flowers. Got a sunny spot? Think Zinnia large flowers, Cosmos, or Calendula. Have a shady corner? Try our special mix “My shade-loving honey flower garden”, a blend of annual and perennial flowers that thrive even without full sun – great for enhancing biodiversity and attracting pollinators.

Feeding the soil

A healthy garden starts with healthy soil. April is ideal for working in Wolkracht wool pellets – a 100% natural soil improver that loosens the soil and nourishes young plants. Suitable for both vegetable patches and ornamental borders.

Organic gardening – now is the time

Now is also the time to sow organic seeds like Egyptian flat beet, Rodelika carrot, or Common chervil. These heritage varieties are selected for flavour, vigour and easy growing. By choosing organic seeds, you support healthy soil and avoid chemical residues in your garden or on your plate.

Tip of the season: plant for the pollinators

When sowing and planting, think of bees and other pollinators. They need our help – and with the right mix of flowers, you’ll get a lively, colourful garden in return. Combine flowering perennials like Yarrow, plumbago, and rose campion with annuals for a long season full of blooms and buzzing life.

🌿 Let April be the start of a vibrant garden season. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just getting started: with our organic seeds, eco-friendly products and love for biodiversity, every square metre can become a little paradise.
