Welcome to July at Bumbles
Welcome to July and summer, at last! After all the wet weather of the last few weeks, the dry and sunny weather is very welcome and time to enjoy all the potting and planting of spring in the garden. We have a fantastic new range of perennials which make choosing the perfect plant for ‘that’ spot in the garden easy! We have a lovely range of patio and garden furniture and everything you need for your pool and spa. And don’t forget to please ask a member of Bumbles’ staff if you’d like some advice or if you are looking for some planting inspiration.
Would you like to send us some photos of your patio pots, planters and flower beds? We’d love to see what you’ve been up to with your Bumbles purchases, you can post photos on Facebook or email us.
Look forward to seeing you soon at Bumbles and remember to please call us if you are looking for something in particular – we’d love to help!

Outdoor living at Bumbles
We have extended our range of garden and patio furniture this year. From traditional wooden benches and seating to the more modern rattan suites, with a range of parasols and sun shades. Do you know we have bbqs, fire pits, garden torches, solar lighting and plenty of charcoal too?!
What’s New
From a bootful of plants to lots of ‘boot-iful’ pots!
