It’s all in the preparation
Before winter starts, get your garden ready for it. The main things to prepare will be insulating your plants with good quality mulch around the base to
keep them warm and pruning back your plants so they don’t need to work so hard whilst trying to survive the winter weather. This way you will be less
likely to find dead shrubs and trees when you venture out after the cold weather has passed.
Take the opportunity
Winter is a great chance to take the opportunity to get ready for spring! Even if it is a little cold, it’s not raining all the time, so get out there
with a spade and dig a new plant bed, or remove your unwanted plants in preparation for spring renewal.
Winter plants
If you live in an area that gets very cold or rainy, consider planting some winter flowers to brighten up your garden. Plants that love winter include
lavender, roses, or daisies and they will make beautiful additions to your garden and are sure to bring a smile to your face when you look out of the
window at a gloomy day.
Maintain the garden
As much as you may want to avoid it, it’s necessary to do a little maintenance during winter. Ensure you feed your plants so as when the rain comes the
nutrients can drip through. Also consider mulching and compost to help with growth and improve your soil. And of course if you need winter garden help
