February Gardening Tips | Plant A Seed Garden Design

Gardening in February

So spring is just around the corner!
There are limited jobs to do in February but quite a lot of things starting to happen so if you are brave enough then venture out and have a look!
If the ground is dry (which it probably isn’t) then the soil will benefit from being dug over and a fertiliser added to roses, fruit trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and perennials.
Large clumps of winter bulbs can be split after flowering to help brighten up other parts of the garden next year.
You can still plant bare root roses, trees and hedges but be quick as time is running out.
Large clumps of perennials can be divided to help aid growth and flowering but take care not to damage new shoots.
Deciduous hedges should be pruned now before birds start to nest.
Summer bedding seeds such as Begonias and Busy Lizzies should be sown in a heated propagator if you have one or a sunny windowsill if not

Our customers say . . .

“The garden is lovely – it’s beautifully laid out and I’m really pleased with it. It does look good, is very well designed and that makes it look much bigger than before. There is a very good view of the garden right down the middle with good perspective.”

“Plant A Seed Garden Design have an imaginative flair for plants and for garden construction. They built a lovely town garden for me complete with pond, paving, decking, wooden seating and lighting. They selected plants that were in keeping and I have colour all year round”

“I wasn’t sure it would work when Ed wanted to take down the fence and go right down to the stream, but I’m so glad I agreed, it really works well and I love it. I really can’t wait to be out there in Spring, Summer and Autumn.“

“The pond is popular with frogs and toads and we see dragon flys in summer. We see many species of birds in winter, squirrels and pheasants also roam around during the winter months and in summer the garden is always buzzing. Brilliant.”
