Gardening is a year-round activity in the UK — but knowing what to do and when can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve created this easy-to-follow month-by-month guide covering essential garden jobs for every season. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, our calendar helps you stay ahead with timely advice on pruning, planting, lawn care, and more. All the guidance is tailored to the UK climate and based on what we do every day here in Norwich and surrounding villages.
