Winter 

Winter is an important time in the garden, arguably it is when most of the meaningful work is done. Summer is busy with growth; lawns, weeds, hedges, the propping up of herbaceous borders - they all demand constant attention, but come winter we can tend to the very foundations of the garden. It is the ideal time to plant and move young shrubs, perennials, prepare and mulch beds, repair, design, plan and prune. I would go as far as to say that this is my favourite season in the garden, and the successes of the summer garden are largely dependent on the work carried out over these months. Because of this, my contractual hours continue all year round, and due to my wait list I am unable to hold slots, although very occasionally I may offer a client a retainer to protect their slot, at my discretion.
