Winter Magic

Don’t let the advent of winter fill your hearts with dread. It is a season of challenges but there’s something very mystical and magical about a winter garden. Stark bare stems, peeling tree bark and pure clean light seem to work together to create a pure, striking scene. Even in the depths of winter there are lots of ways to make your garden even more beautiful than ever.

Winter is a great time to plan and plant new areas in your borders. There are many plants that create colour and interest throughout the cold weather and it is these Winter Wonders that we should revere, plant and nurture if our gardens are to continue to look good all year round. 

Plan, plant and prepare your borders now and the rewards you will reap next season are limitless.

Winter is a time to take stock of the garden, to see where the gaps are in the borders and take action to fill them so that the coming season is even more spectacular than the one just finished. Gardens never stop evolving and gardeners never stop gardening. Take heed of the weather, but when its conducive get out there and be proactive. Minutes spent now tidying and preparing your patch for spring will save you hours when spring starts in earnest.
