The winter months are fast approaching in the United Kingdom and your garden care should not stop just because it’s getting cooler. So, today we are going to share with you some ways that you can prepare your garden for the winter months.

Clear Debris
Before the winter months are here, you want to head out to your garden and remove any debris from your garden, especially your lawn. If you leave debris to sit on your lawn throughout the winter months it is unlikely to rot away. It is also more likely to cause your lawn to be killed off, meaning you will have bald patches of grass that you need to sort the following year. The best way to keep your lawn healthy is to remove any debris.

Clean Your Tools
You should think ahead and clean your gardening tools during the winter months. This is the perfect time to clean your tools as it is very unlikely that you will be using these until the following spring. Cleaning your tools during the winter means you will have one less job to worry about when springtime comes around and you are wanting to work in your garden.

Review Your Plants
Before the winter months come around you want to head out into your garden and review what plants you have growing. By this we mean look at what flowers and crops are growing in your garden currently. Some of these will not survive the cold winter months, therefore it will be best if you pot these and bring them indoors or put them into your greenhouse. This is the best way to have your plants to survive the winter months.

These are just a few things you can do to help your garden during and leading up to the winter months. There is no reason to forget about your garden during this time, it still needs caring for.
