The Autumn garden features dramatic bursts of colour and is a busy time for gardeners, but any work you put in now will pay dividends next Spring
- Plant Spring bulbs before the ground starts to freeze; check the packet for planting depths and try and plant them pointy end up
- Cut back perennials as they finish flowering to ensure they come back strong and healthy next year
- If your lawn looks tired after the Summer, now is the time to treat it with an Autumn feed
- Protect pots from becoming waterlogged over Winter by putting them on pot feet to allow for drainage
- Add some colour to your garden by planting up pots and containers with Winter bedding
- Rake up fallen leaves and compost them, or leave them in piles if you can as they make a great natural habitat for wildlife
- Plant or move trees and shrubs while the ground still has some warmth in it
