In this section, we take a look at the range of gardening tasks to be carried out in every part of the garden throughout the year. Rather than break this down month-by-month, we have grouped activities into seasons. Gardening is not a precise art that follows rigid guidelines; variations in climate, aspect and soil type will affect how plants will grow, and hence the time when sowing, planting and other tasks may be carried out.
To use the calendar, either choose a season below, or select a planting style to be provided with a timetable of tasks for the whole year.
