Tips and Hints

 

MARCH TO DO 2026

 

Once this wet weather has passed, let’s hope we can get outside to start the gardening season off in earnest. Start making the most of the days becoming longer.

 

1)Mow lawns once they start back into growth and cut your edges with a half moon.

2) Apply weedkiller to paved and gravel areas during a dry spell

3) Prune out any wind damaged branches on trees and shrubs.

4)Cut back winter flowering jasmine to encourage flowers next year.

5)Prune roses early in the month

6)Plant and divide perenniels

7)Prune Buddleja Davidii, Dogwoods, Willows, Cotinus, Fuschia and Perovskia

8)Feed ericaceous shrubs with an ericaceous fertiliser

9)Tidy up borders then mulch with garden compost

10) Buy seeds

 

Happy Gardening!
