  • Hi,

    I'm a garden researcher and would be really interested in hearing more about your new garden. Please could you email some details to [email protected]?

    Thanks!

    When you are in the garden don't forget that many things, especially perennials, look dead at this time of year and they may only need the tops cutting off to tidy them up.

    Look carefully right at the base and you may see the green shoots of recovery. If thee are none it still doesn't mean the plants are dead. 

    Initially just observe until say April, you may have some surprises, that are not dead image

    Welcome Mark!

    I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures already!

    As mentioned above wait and see what comes up in Spring and Summer and go from there.

    No problem with leaving seed heads etc on at this time of year as the birds will find them and feed on the seeds when we get a cold snap!

    Best
