Top Tips for Garden Care
1. Prune at the right time (and in the right way)
Correct pruning improves plant structure, flowering, and long-term health, while poor timing can weaken or even kill plants. Different species have very different requirements—shrubs, fruit trees, and hedges all follow different cycles. Following established guidance helps avoid common mistakes like excessive winter pruning or cutting spring-flowering plants at the wrong time. Trusted advice from the Royal Horticultural Society’s pruning guides and their tree and shrub pruning advice is a solid baseline before any major cutting.
2. Prioritise regular maintenance over one-off fixes
Light, frequent maintenance keeps gardens healthy and manageable, preventing small issues from turning into expensive problems. Regular hedge trimming, lawn care, and seasonal tidy-ups reduce plant stress and keep growth under control. Long periods of neglect often lead to overgrown hedges, compacted lawns, and invasive weeds that require heavy intervention. A routine approach, guided by resources like BBC Gardeners’ World’s maintenance advice and the RHS seasonal gardening calendar, is far more sustainable.
3. Work with your garden’s natural conditions
Gardens perform best when planting and layout decisions suit the soil type, drainage, light levels, and local climate. Forcing unsuitable plants to survive usually increases watering, feeding, and ongoing maintenance, often with disappointing results. Understanding your soil and choosing appropriate plants leads to stronger growth and lower long-term upkeep. The RHS soil guides and the Forestry Commission’s tree species database are reliable sources for making informed choices.
