Get going in the garden Although the colder months are now in full swing, now is a great time to start prepping your garden so it’s blooming beautiful for when the warmer spring months arrive. With much to do it can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed but here we have some top green fingered tips to help your garden blossom. Tidy up your garden Give your garden some tender loving care with a pre-spring cleanup. Depending on the size of your garden it might be a lot of work but if you do a little cleaning often it will soon be done. Simply clear away any dead leaves or stalks that have fallen and if you add them to your compost heap the leaves will break down and can be used as a mulch later in the year.

Give your lawn some love Now is a good time to rake your lawn and scarify the ground and by removing all the dead grass means the rest of your lawn won’t become waterlogged. You can also add some new grass seed to give your lawn a fresh look.
Get weeding Over the colder months the weeds will have grown so now is the ideal moment to get outside and start weeding. It is best to do this by hand and remove as many weeds as possible, some might require a weed killer treatment but remember to only buy a product which isn’t harmful to pollinators. When you have finished rake over the soil. You can also prepare the ground for planting in the spring by adding some new topsoil.
