You don’t need to be an expert to keep a tidy, healthy garden — you just need to do the right jobs at the right time of year. Here’s a simple checklist for a typical London garden.
Spring
- Tidy borders and mulch beds
- First cuts of the lawn as growth picks up
- Prune shrubs that flower in summer
Summer
- Regular mowing and edging
- Water in the evening during dry spells
- Keep on top of weeds and hedge trimming
Autumn
- Clear fallen leaves (and your gutters)
- Cut back perennials and plant spring bulbs
- A final hedge trim before winter
Winter
Winter is the time for structural jobs: pruning dormant trees, cleaning tools, and planning any bigger changes for spring. A quick tidy now makes the busy season much easier.
