If you're eager to start a flower garden but are limited by space or poor soil, gardening expert Tom Strowlger has a solution.

He recommends using a raised wooden bed, which comes in various sizes and shapes to suit every home.

Tom explained: "A wooden raised bed allows me to grow plants and flowers before transplanting them into pots, beds and borders.

"I often use my raised beds to grow and establish young plants before transplanting them into beds and borders. Once I have enjoyed some spring bulb flowers, I dig those up and transplant them into the garden ."

Tom fills his raised beds with bulbs in the spring, creating a vibrant display of colour throughout the seasons.

He noted: "The wooden raised beds come as a ready-to-build kit and are easy to build and install.

"A few hours of building a wooden raised bed, and you can be lining it with a plastic liner, and filling it with compost, ready to plant your favourite plants and flowers."
