Colour your life in February 

If your garden ideas are taking shape now but you’d like some extra inspiration then what about visiting your local garden centre.  They are getting ready for the new season and may have some pre-season offers to get you started.  Plus you can get a sense of the latest trends and ideas.  If, after all that, you need even more creative input, then why not book an appointment with a garden designer or landscape gardener?

Constantly improving

• This is the ideal time to work on improving your garden. For example by constructing paths or patios, restoring the lawn or enriching the soil with nutrients.
• You can start pruning, planting and replanting now.
• Plus get the kids involved – perhaps with a little easy indoor gardening such as sowing cress and watching it grow! 

Wildlife in the garden

Do you have nesting boxes in your garden? If so, they will need a thorough clean to remove any vermin so that birds that want to nest in the boxes this spring will not be bothered by them.
