Winter Garden Jobs

Spend a calm winter afternoon in the garden as I tackle a few winter garden jobs on a mild but damp January day. This isn’t a high-octane gardening video — it’s a realistic look at winter garden maintenance, tidying up, plant checks, and getting the garden ready for spring. In this video I: Do a general winter garden tidy up Recycle and break down a real Christmas tree Check cold damage on palms, bananas, agave, and greenhouse plants Lightly water selected plants in the greenhouse Share a practical tip on using loppers vs secateurs Plant daffodil bulbs in January (yes, outside the recommended window!) Prune an apple tree in winter to improve shape and future harvests We also talk honestly about how some plants can look alive in winter but may already be dead, how wet conditions affect tropical-style plants, and why winter is such an important time for observation rather than heavy work. If you enjoy slow gardening, seasonal garden jobs, honest plant updates, and preparing your garden for spring, this one’s for you. 🌱 Topics covered: winter gardening, winter garden jobs UK, January gardening jobs, planting bulbs in winter, apple tree pruning, greenhouse care in winter, garden tidy up, preparing the garden for spring Thanks for watching — and hopefully this encourages you to get outside and enjoy your garden, even in winter.
