Gardening tips for April

Gardening tips for April

As spring settles in and gardens begin to burst with colour, April becomes one of the busiest and most exciting months in the gardening calendar. Warmer days, longer evenings, and fresh new growth make it the perfect time to get outside and start preparing your garden for the season ahead. 

Seeds sown earlier in the year are beginning to grow, lawns get refreshed, and beds and borders are ready to be rejuvenated with new plants. With a little care and attention now, your garden will be set up beautifully for the months ahead. 

While April can bring plenty of sunshine, the weather can still be unpredictable. Sudden cold snaps or late frosts can still occur, so it’s important to keep tender plants protected where necessary.
