Having plants for different seasons in your garden can provide a multitude of benefits, including:
By carefully selecting plants that bloom and thrive at different times of the year, you can ensure that your garden always looks vibrant and inviting. While maintaining a garden that offers support for wildlife, especially pollinators like bees and butterflies at different times of the year.
Anyone who is keen to pick up gardening as a skill should understand that there are different plants for different times of the year, but all can provide a beautiful array of benefits for your garden. It’s important to familiarise yourself with the planting calendar and to pay close attention to changes in the seasons, so that you can become an expert gardener with a garden that thrives all year round.
Winter
While for many people winter is a time when the garden becomes a low priority, it can continue to radiate energy and life, even in the coldest and hardest months of the year. For us in the UK, the winter brings mostly cold and wet weather. From lots of rain, wind, and sometimes frost and snow it can be hard to find plants that will survive, however it is certainly possible.
Hardy plants and evergreens in particular can continue to thrive throughout December, January and February, helping to banish your winter blues and keep your garden looking fresh. Some good examples include:
If you’d prefer to keep a low-maintenance look to your garden in winter the following steps can be taken to ensure it isn’t completely overtaken or destroyed by the harsh weather of winter:
Spring
Spring is a great time for gardening and it’s certainly one of the best times of year for planting. As the sun comes out you can have some fun with your garden, planting your spring flowers and preparing to spend more time in the outdoor space.
By adding some colour and planting new perennials in your garden, you help to awaken your garden from the cold depths of winter. And much like the new baby chicks, rabbits, birds, and other wildlife being born, your garden can be reborn in spring too.
Some plants to consider for springtime include:
Another great thing about spring is the opportunity to bring back your vegetable patch. Vegetables like lettuce, beets and potatoes can be planted in spring and will be ready in a couple of months for harvesting.
Summer
Summer is a favourite season for a reason. It provides the best weather for spending time outside and genuinely enjoying the outdoor space you have lovingly created over the last couple of months. Your flowers, trees, and shrubs will be thriving and the majority of them in full bloom. In summer you can enjoy an array of colour and dimension from some of the most beautiful flowers, including:
Autumn
As summer draws to a close and weathers begin to change yet again, there's still time to enjoy your garden. Having seasonal plants and ones that have long-flowering periods are perfect for the autumn season.
Long flowering perennial plants include:
All are great for ensuring your garden looks its best, even during the transition between summer fun and autumn chill. You can continue to enjoy many of these long flowering plants just before the first frost, giving you plenty of time to prepare your garden for the next few months of colder weather.
