Autumn is nature’s natural time for planting 🍂🌱
Thinking of adding something new to your garden? Autumn is a wonderful time to get planting, and Pete’s here to explain why!
The soil still holds warmth from summer, while cooler days and autumn rainfall help make conditions gentler on new plants. With less heat to contend with and more moisture in the ground, they have a chance to settle into their new home.
You might not see much happening above the soil, but there’s plenty going on underneath! Over the next four to six weeks, roots can begin to establish while conditions remain favourable, giving plants a head start for next year. 🌿
It’s about more than enjoying your garden this season. Planting now gives your new additions time to settle in before spring, ready for the growing season ahead.
A few of Pete’s favourites to plant now include Pieris, Skimmia, Helleborus and Anemone. Whether you’re refreshing a border or filling a gap, pop in and chat with our team about which would suit your garden.
A little planting now, plenty to look forward to! 🍁
