NOW'S THE TIME TO GET TO WORK ON THOSE BORDERS

- DAVID DOMONEY

HOW WILL YOUR GARDEN GROW?

NOW the new year is with us, your garden can bring a fresh burst of optimism. January is the perfect moment to look back at the year just gone and shape your plans for 2026.

Take a gentle wander around the garden. Wrap up warm with a hot drink, look, and reflect.

Ask yourself two questions... What did you love about your garden last year?

What would you change?

Consider moments that made you smile. Perhaps it was a brilliant container display of spring bulbs, tomatoes that kept coming, or a border buzzing with bees in summer.
