Dare we say it? Spring’s around the corner — Getting prepared for warmer weather!
Cary Goodwin (Spokesperson Life is a Garden, Headgirl at Colourful Group and Peebles Plants)

Yes, we can feel it in the air - but spring is still hiding its Colourful head - for now.

It’s the time to get yourself and your garden prepared for warmer weather - NOT to do things like top dressing your lawn.

As impatient creatures, humans are always racing the clock to get things done. But Nature has her own pace when it comes to plants. Continue the slower pace that Lockdown should have taught us and plan properly for the change in seasons.

Cary Goodwin gives us all the know-how we need to ensure that you get the best out of your backyard space. And all the tips you need to do it at the right time - and the reasons why.

We also look at what indigenous fruits to plant to give you, and wildlife, a smorgasbord of new tastes.
