Jobs to do in the garden this month…

Lift Dahlia tubers

Prune rambling and climbing roses once they’ve finished flowering

Net ponds now before autumn leaf fall gets underway

Keep camellias and rhododendrons well watered at this time of year

Renovate old lawns

Plant spring flowering bulbs

Clear up fallen rose leaves to prevent diseases such as black spot from over-wintering

Cut back perennial plants that have died down

Fill any gaps in borders with pots of tall bulbs

Clean out greenhouses

Collect seeds from the garden to sow next year

This month is the ideal time to plant hedges, and move trees and shrubs

After tidying border, mulch with bark chips, well rotted manure or leaf mold

Protect half-hardy plants with fleece

Divide herbaceous perennials

Move tender plants into a greenhouse or conservatory

“Ben and the team at Hythe Garden Landscapes recently completely transformed our garden. We are beyond impressed with the whole experience, from start to finish. The team are friendly, professional and to be quite honest, were a joy to have here with us over the weeks that the project took to complete. Cannot recommend HGL enough, if you are considering them for your project you won’t be disappointed. Their attention to detail and standards of work are second to none.

We’re looking forward to having more work done with them in the future..”
