As the seasons change, preparing the garden for winter is about more than tidying up. It's an opportunity to care for the landscape, support wildlife and lay the foundations for healthier growth in spring.
Our Assistant Head Gardener, Stephen Peters, recently contributed to RH Uncovered, sharing his horticultural expertise and practical advice on preparing gardens for winter.
Drawing on over 40 years of experience in horticulture, Stephen explores the importance of sustainable gardening practices, from giving prunings a second life and enriching the soil with organic mulch to leaving plants standing as natural shelters for wildlife.
He also shares advice on protecting young trees and newly established plantings, highlighting how small, thoughtful actions throughout winter can make a lasting difference to the health and biodiversity of our gardens.
Discover Stephen's expert insights and learn how to give your own garden the best start for the season ahead.
