Spring is nearly here. Use March to prepare your garden for the season ahead.

1. Mulch flower beds with coarse compost to improve soil and keep weeds down
2. Clean patios and paths to remove algae and boost kerb appeal
3. Prune rose bushes to encourage healthy growth and spring blooms
4. Check and treat pergolas and wooden structures during dry spells
5. Sow hardy annuals like poppies and sweet peas if the soil is ready
6. Divide perennials to rejuvenate plants and create new ones

A little effort now sets your garden up beautifully for the months ahead.

Your CiD EA can arrange a gardener, order compost or hire a pressure washer.
