Winter can be a challenging time for gardeners. Few plants thrive in the frosty months, and harsh weather often results in many flowers and crops dying off, either permanently or until spring's arrival prompts regrowth.

The cold conditions also make it difficult for gardeners to venture outdoors to tend to their plots, with rain, freezing temperatures, or even snow often proving prohibitive.

Consequently, our gardens often fall into neglect during winter, with tasks being overlooked and a significant tidy-up required once the weather becomes more favourable in spring.

However, one gardening expert has urged individuals to brave the cold and venture into their gardens before November ends to carry out a vital task that could ensure your garden thrives throughout the winter.
