Gardening Tips: October

With the day’s getting shorter and winter approaching, here are a few top tips for you:

Now is a great time to tidy up your borders, clear weeds and cut down flower stems.

Reduce your lawn mowing and clear dead leaves from the lawn. This will stop the grass turning yellow.

Lift tender perennials and tender bulbs and bring indoors.

Now’s the time you should start planning any design changes for your garden and plant your favourite spring bulbs.

Don’t forget to dry seed heads this month, before they deteriorate.
