How to Keep Your Garden Thriving as October Ends in the UK

As October draws to a close, UK gardeners should focus on preparing beds for winter and planning early spring colour. It’s time to clear fallen leaves, cut back faded perennials, and prune roses, wisteria, and climbing shrubs before frost sets in.

Mulching borders and wrapping tender plants protect roots from cold snaps, ensuring gardens stay healthy through winter.
