🌿🌼 Gardening enthusiasts, listen up! Monty Don, the beloved British gardening guru, has shared his top-notch advice for a show-stopping autumn garden! 🎋🍂
July is the perfect time to prep for those vibrant autumn colours. Monty reveals that early flowering perennials like oriental poppies, delphiniums, and hardy geraniums need a little TLC this month. Simply cut them back to the ground to encourage a fresh burst of growth and another round of stunning blooms come autumn. 🌸✨
But wait, there’s more! Monty also suggests clearing the way for new growth by removing cut materials, tidying up weeds, and making sure these plants have plenty of light and space to thrive again when summer ends. 🌞🌿
Got hedges? Time to give them some attention! By the end of July, it’s safe to start hedge cutting since birds will have fledged their nests. This will bring back a neat look to your garden, complementing the late-summer vibe. 🌳✂️
And don’t forget about wildflower meadows. You can cut them back by the end of the month, ensuring all grass is removed to keep next year’s display just as delightful. 🌻🌾
Get ready to enjoy a garden full of colour and life this autumn with these insightful tips. Happy gardening! 🏡💚
