Welcome to Sankey Garden Products

There are many benefits to planting in containers. They are portable, displays can be constantly changed, and temperatures can be controlled. Of course, they're also the perfect option for those with small gardens, patios and balconies. A challenge though is keeping plants well watered during hot weather or when going away. \r\n\r\n

March 2012 - To raise money for GreenFingers, a wonderful charity that creates gardens in children's hospitals, Sankey and Fiskars held the Great Fiskars Bake-Off as part of Garden Re-Leaf Day on March 13th which marks the start of the gardening season. Fiskars employees were challenged to create garden inspired cookies and cakes to raise money. The entries were then sold, with winners receiving a collection of gardening goodies for their efforts. There was tough competition among employees to make the tastiest cakes.

There may be months to go until high summer but there are already warnings from the Environment Agency that Britain is facing a severe drought in 2012 after the driest winter on record.rnrnResevoirs were already low at the beginning of last year and 2011 was the driest year in England and Wales for 90 years. Without heavy rainfall over the rest of winter and spring, extreme water shortages could hit many parts of the country - meaning hosepipe bans and parched gardens.

The Fiskars Group is strengthening its European Garden Products brands, Sankey and Ebert. At group level there are key appointments that will enable Sankey and Ebert to share their extensive heritage and knowledge of the UK and German markets.
