1. Gardening in Winter
The weather turns cold, the summer plants die away and the leaves begin to fall
from the trees. So what is left for you to enjoy when it comes to gardening in the
winter? Well actually quite a lot and this can be just as exciting as gardening in the
summer. However do remember that most of the work is going to be all about
preparing your garden for the bloom of spring!
During the winter it is actually a great time to speak to a garden designer if you are
looking to create something spectacular ready for next year. There can be loads of
planning, groundwork, digging and designing done during this time. For example
if you are looking at creating an outdoor seating area then the winter is a great time
to do this as you won’t mind a little upheaval or temporary mess as you won’t be
out enjoying the warm weather will you?
As for actual gardening the cold months are a good time to get clearing up any of
those dead bedding plants or to catch up on a little weeding that never got
completed in the summer. Some plants also need pruning before the winter but not
all of them, so make sure you know which ones need a little cutting back and
which ones don’t.
This is also a great time to begin replenishing your gardens soil with loads of
nutrients. You can do this easily with some great organic compost or some manure.
This will break down over the cold weather months and provide you with some
fantastic rich soil ready for fresh growth in spring or the sowing of your favorite
seeds.
A lot of people also like to design and dig their new bedding areas or even their
long awaited vegetable patch. Just pick a day that isn’t too wet and a day where the
ground hasn’t been frozen solid the night before. This will make your digging a lot
easier and make it nice and easy to dig in all of that compost or manure. Yes your
new beds or vegetable patches will love some nice nutrition too.
As mentioned earlier in this article now is a good time to plan out your garden with
a professional designer, so why not incorporate a few new beds or veggie patches

2. if this is what you want. A good designer will know the best places to put these to
maximize results and crop, but they can probably integrate them into any style or
design you have in mind so that they look fantastic too.
