NOTES FROM THE GARDEN PLANNING next year's springtime Matt Biggs is our resident garden advisor. Here he gives us advice on how to prepare our garden for next year. Matt trained at The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and has presented numerous television programmes including Channel 4’s Garden Club. There is no doubt that this year has been a year like no other. It has changed so many things in so many ways, and one of those is the time that some of us have had to spend in our gardens. Whether you are a true ‘son of the soil’ or someone who wouldn’t necessarily know a daffodil from a daisy, we have had time to contemplate that space outside of our window, be it a window box, courtyard or garden. Gardening offers us so many benefits - the opportunity to exercise, space to think, space to grow new plants, delicious edibles and fabulous fruit, play with the kids, count butterflies, feed birds, and there is another, really important thing that it offers us - the opportunity to plan for the future. With so much uncertainty in life there is something very life affirming about planning our gardens for next year - and now is the time to do that. Ornamental bulbs are in our garden centres now - bulbs are amazing! They require very little care, takes almost no skill at all to plant - even if you plant it upside down it will still appear - kids love to help choose and plant them and then there is that wonderful day when a green shoot spikes its way out of the ground heralding the beauty to follow. So this month get out to your garden centre or nursery, take a pen and paper and make a list or check put a bulb catalogue and start planning for a new year filled with colour and optimism - and bring some excitement and colour into your life next spring - all from a little brown bulb!
