Spring Gardening Tasks
Posted by Lisa Taylor on 12th Apr 2023
In the spring, there are useful tasks you can perform in your garden, including:
Clearing debris
Remove any leaves, sticks or other debris from your garden to prepare for new growth.
Pruning
Prune any dead or damaged branches from your trees and shrubs to encourage healthy growth.
Preparing soil
Add compost or other organic matter to the soil to enrich it. You may also want to till the soil to aerate it and help break up any compacted areas
Planting
Spring is an ideal time to plant new flowers, shrubs, and trees. Make sure to select plants that are well-suited to your climate and soil type.
Fertilising
Fertilise your plants to give them the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.
Mulching
Spread a layer of mulch around your plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. It looks good too!
Watering
Make sure to water your plants regularly, especially if there has been a period of dry weather.
Re-landscape
Add a new patio or lawn. Or if you would prefer to have a low maintenance garden you could introduce an area of decorative stones and arrange potted plants on top.
These are just a few examples of the tasks you can perform in your garden in the spring to get your garden ready to enjoy during summer. You’ll also get a well-earned feeling of satisfaction, while enjoying the outdoors!
