Your Garden, Ready for Winter

Your garden still has plenty to give this autumn. The question is which jobs will help it through winter, and which can wait.

Your Garden, Ready for Winter helps you choose with confidence. Walk your garden, notice the conditions that matter and make a short plan that fits your time. Keep the parts you enjoy while preparing plants, soil and everyday routes for colder weather.

INSIDE THE GUIDE

• Decide what needs attention now and what to leave in place.

• Handle fallen leaves, compost, soil and water thoughtfully.

• Plan care for borders, shrubs, new planting and spring bulbs.

• Review lawns, containers, crops and wildlife habitat.

• Prepare tools and water equipment for changing conditions.

• Use a four-session plan, an autumn checklist and a page for your own garden plan.

The advice is written for UK readers and temperate home gardens. Timing follows the plant, soil and weather conditions in your own garden. Links to relevant Royal Horticultural Society guidance support further reading.
