  • Gardeners do not need to clear everything away in autumn, as some plants cope better with winter in a more natural setting.
  • The season is a time to distinguish essential pre-winter work from tasks that can wait until spring.

Autumn is not the time to clear every corner of the garden. As the season changes, gardeners should consider which jobs genuinely need doing before winter and which can wait until spring.

In summer, the main concern is helping everything grow and thrive. By autumn, the focus shifts. Leaving some parts of the garden slightly more natural can help many plants manage the winter better.
