Make Repairs – The weather can cause a lot of damage over the winter – heavy rain and strong winds can wreak havoc on a garden.

Your fence is also something that you should take care to check – get a professional like this fencing Gloucester www.greenfieldsltd.co.uk/services/fencing/ company to come and sort it out if it requires extensive repairs.
Plant Bulbs – Now is the time to get the bulbs in the ground ready to give you that pretty burst of colour in the spring. Plant snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells and alliums now in the ground and in pots to get your garden looking great in a few months time.
Look After Wildlife – This time of the year is really tough for wildlife and the birds in the garden struggle to find food in the winter.
