It’s time to get spring ready! The lighter nights and warmer days are on their way so it’s time to head outdoors and give your garden the TLC it needs for the season ahead!
Whether adding instant colour with seasonal bedding, planting summer flowering bulbs for dazzling displays in the months to come, giving your garden a much-needed spring clean – we’re here to help you make the most of your space with our six jobs for spring!
1. CLEAN PATHS AND PATIOS
After the winter months, your paths and patios might be looking a little worse for wear. Use a product like Algon to safely remove moss and algae and give your outdoor space a new lease of life as you welcome guests for the new season.
2. NOURISH YOUR SOIL
A thriving garden starts with great soil! Enrich your garden beds and borders with Miracle-Gro All Purpose Compost, Moisture Control and Fruit and Vegetable Compost. Peat free and designed to feed plants for up to 3 months, these composts are the perfect foundation for healthy, thriving plants. Now 2 for £14 until 11th May!
3. FEED YOUR PLANTS
Give your plants the best start this spring! We recommend Boost by Westland. This premium plant feed is packed with essential nutrients to support strong roots, vibrant growth, and beautiful blooms all season long. Simply add your chosen plant feed and watch your garden thrive!
4. LOVE YOUR LAWN
When April rolls in, it’s time to show your lawn some extra love. Aerate and scarify your grass before applying a spring treatment and consider overseeding for a thicker, healthier lawn. Check out our guide for loving your lawn here!
5. SUPPRESS THE WEEDS
Weeds can take over before you know it! Help keep them at bay by using mulch like decorative bark or landscape fabric. It’ll prevent weeds from popping up while adding a neat finish to your garden.
6. PRUNE BACK
Spring is the perfect time to prune certain hardy evergreens, roses, and shrubs like hydrangeas and spirea. We’re loving the Burgon & Ball secateurs, now £17.99 and endorsed by the RHS! Plus they’re so bright you’ll never lose them amongst the dirt in your garden!
Seasonal Bedding for Instant Colour
Bring your garden to life with bursts of colour this spring! Pansies are an absolute favourite, offering vibrant hues to brighten up any bed or border. However, be cautious with tender plants – planting them out too early exposes them to the risk of late frosts!
Shrubs for evergreen colour
Spring is the perfect time to plant Hydrangeas. These stunning shrubs will reward you with beautiful blooms throughout the summer. Spring is also an excellent opportunity to divide and replant any established perennials. This rejuvenates your plants, giving them space to grow and thrive while allowing you to fill different spots in your garden with lovely new growth!
Trees for Structure and Shade
Consider adding some trees to your garden this spring. Fruit trees such as apple, pear, or plum are fantastic choices. They not only provide shade and structure but also reward you with delicious fruit in the months to come!
