Traditionally a quiet time in the garden, early in the New Year is a perfect time to step back and assess your garden and to fit in all those jobs you normally don’t have time to do.
Help your feathered friends during the lean months by providing food, water and shelter.
The shortest and coldest days of the year, but even now some plants are growing and flowering as if it were high summer. It is an ideal time to catch up on reading and other jobs that the busy months do not give time to do.
With the approach of winter the garden takes on an air of quietness. There is an absence of urgency and a more leisurely pace can be taken. Leading up to a well deserved Christmas break.
As the days begin to lengthen early spring bulbs and Snowdrops start to colour the bare earth.
