Many folk think of autumn as the end of the year, yet from the gardener’s point of view it is the very beginning.
It is the best time to plant trees and shrubs dug up from nursery rows, and a good time to move those in the garden that seem to be in the wrong place.
There is the lawn to perk up before winter sets in, and a chance to look forward to a flower-filled spring by planting bulbs – daffodils and tulips, crocuses and dwarf irises.
In this ideal guide, Alan Titchmarsh gives you the top hints, tips and guidance of what you should be doing around your garden through autumn and winter.
So don’t put the spade and fork away just yet. Take a look around your garden and see where you can refresh it and bring new life to beds and borders. Come the spring you’ll be glad you took the trouble.
