The guides on Villatic Garden are for general information and education. They are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

Gardening results vary

Climate, soil, weather, plant variety and timing differ from garden to garden. We give ranges and reasons so you can adapt them, but we cannot promise a particular result. Check local rules and conditions, and follow product labels.

Safety

• Electrical and lighting. Mains electricity near water is dangerous. Have outdoor wiring installed and inspected by a licensed electrician and protected by an RCD or GFCI.
• Trees and tools. Work at height, near power lines or with large limbs should be left to a qualified arborist. Use suitable protective equipment with any tool.
• Pets and children. Plant toxicity depends on species, amount eaten and the size of the animal or child. If a pet or child has eaten a plant, contact your veterinarian, poison control centre or doctor straight away.
• Sprays and products. Read and follow the label, store products safely, and never use a product in a way the label does not allow.
