Plan your new garden for 2026

Whether it's a new border, fruit and veg, or some naturalistic planting, it's time to get to work

- With DAVID DOMONEY

As the Christmas rush slows and the last leftovers are eaten, your garden can bring a fresh burst of optimism. Now is the perfect moment to look back at the year just gone and shape your plans for 2026.

PAUSE AND LOOK BACK:

The quiet days between Christmas and New Year are perfect for a gentle wander round the garden. Wrap up warm with a hot drink, look and reflect.

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

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
