If you are someone who likes spending time in your garden and looking after it, then you may struggle to know what you can do during the winter months to allow you to still get the use out of your garden.
Why not invest in a bird table, bird feeder or bird bath? The feeders are essential to birds especially during the winter months when the ground is harder and berry have all disappeared. It can give you a great feeling watching the numerous beautiful birds flock to your feeders during the winter not only allowing you to observe whilst they feed but also knowing that you may be helping them stay alive.
If you have children, then you may feel that it is too cold for them to be playing outside. But it is good for everyone to get some fresh air even in the winter. Make sure that you all wrap up really warm and go for a kick about in the garden. If snow happens to fall then a snowball fight or making a snowman in the garden can provide hours of fun for kids and adults.
There are plenty of plants that can survive the winter weather, so if you fancy brightening up your garden a bit, invest in some terracotta plant pots and fill them with winter pansy’s or primulas.
