Autumn is the time when your garden can start to look untidy as summer plants become faded.

Clear Spent Plants

Remove any plants that have died or become overgrown. Be ruthless and clear them away for spring planting.

Prune Shrubs and Trees

Autumn is an excellent time to prune many deciduous shrubs and trees once they’ve dropped their leaves.

Plant Spring Bulbs

Get spring-flowering bulbs into the ground before the first hard frosts.

Lawn Care

Give the lawn a final cut on a higher setting, then scarify and aerate.

Protect Tender Plants

Move frost-tender plants into the greenhouse. Wrap vulnerable outdoor plants with horticultural fleece.
