March in the Garden

At Charles Hogarth Landscapes we love the freshness and optimism of spring and to help shake off the winter blues the bulbs will be soon be out in force this month.  As the days lengthen and the earth warms up, now is the time for action outdoors. Once the garden's had a good spring clean and you've pruned your roses you can start to plan that new seating or eating area 'al fresco' that you’ve been dreaming of if you want to enjoy it as soon as the warmer weather arrives.

Here's an 'At a Glance Guide' of a few jobs you can be getting on with in the garden this month

• Prune shrub roses (last chance!)
• Clear debris from pond
• Scarify the lawn ready for feeding next month
• Sow grass seed on bare patches
• Plant hardy perennials
