Autumn Gardening
Top autumn gardening jobs 🍂
Autumn is the perfect time to get ahead for next spring, prepare your garden for the colder months and give your plants a little extra care. Here are our team's top jobs for the season.
1
🌷 Plant spring-flowering bulbs
Plant daffodils, tulips, crocuses and alliums now and look forward to a beautiful display of colour when spring arrives. We have a fantastic selection of spring bulbs in store, starting from just £3.99.
2
🌳 Plant trees, shrubs & hedging
While the soil is still warm, autumn is a great time to plant new trees, shrubs and hedging. Planting now gives them time to establish their roots before the colder weather arrives.
3
❄️ Protect tender plants
Keep an eye on the weather as temperatures fall. Protect tender and frost-sensitive plants with horticultural fleece, or move them into a greenhouse, conservatory or other sheltered spot before the first frosts.
4
🌱 Give your lawn some TLC
Aerate the soil, give it a good feed and repair any bare or worn patches. A little care now will help your lawn stay healthy through winter and look its best next spring.
5
🧹 Clean & tidy
Before winter sets in, give your greenhouse, pots, trays and garden tools a thorough clean. Removing old soil and plant debris helps stop pests and diseases carrying over into the new growing season.
