Late spring and early summer are the best time to reset the garden.
A few small jobs now can make pots, borders and seating areas feel ready for the season.
Tidy first
Pull weeds, sweep paths, clear old leaves and remove tired spring bedding. The garden will feel better immediately.
Fill the gaps
Add summer bedding, herbs or a fresh pot where the garden looks bare. Water containers regularly.
Keep flowers going
Deadhead, feed and support tall plants before they flop. Small maintenance keeps the garden looking cared for.
Make one sitting spot
Clean the table, add a pot, a cushion or a lantern, and make the garden easy to use.
