MAINTAINED GARDEN IN TOOWOOMBA

1. Spring:

  • Clean Up: Start by clearing away debris such as fallen branches, leaves, and any other debris that has accumulated over the winter.
  • Pruning: Trim back overgrown shrubs and trees to promote healthy growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Weeding: Remove weeds before they have a chance to take over your garden beds. Spring is an ideal time to get ahead of weed growth.
  • Soil Preparation: Loosen compacted soil and amend it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
  • Fertilisation: Apply a slow-release fertiliser to feed your plants and promote strong growth throughout the growing season.


2. Summer:

  • Watering: Ensure your garden receives an adequate amount of water, especially during hot and dry periods. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around garden beds to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Pest Control: Monitor plants for signs of pests and take appropriate measures to control infestations, whether through natural methods or targeted treatments.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a neat appearance in the garden.
  • Regular Maintenance: Stay on top of regular tasks such as mowing the lawn, edging garden beds, and keeping pathways clear of weeds and debris.


3. Autumn:

  • Leaf Removal: As leaves begin to fall, regularly rake and remove them from your lawn and garden beds to prevent suffocation and promote healthy growth.
  • Aeration: Aerating your lawn helps alleviate soil compaction and improves air and water penetration, leading to healthier grass roots.
  • Overseeding: Autumn is an great time to overseed your lawn to fill in bare patches and thicken the grass for a lush appearance.
  • Bulb Planting: Plant spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and crocuses for a burst of color in the following spring.
  • Garden Cleanup: Cut back spent perennials, remove annuals, and tidy up garden beds in preparation for winter.


4. Winter:

  • Tool Maintenance: Clean and sharpen garden tools, such as pruners and shears, to ensure they're ready for use when spring arrives.
  • Winter Protection: Provide insulation for delicate plants, such as wrapping shrubs with burlap or providing mulch around their bases, to protect them from harsh winter conditions.
  • Bird Feeding: Set up bird feeders and provide fresh water to attract and support wintering birds in your garden.
  • Planning: Use the winter months to plan for the upcoming growing season, including selecting new plants, designing garden layouts, and ordering seeds or supplies.
  • Enjoyment: Take time to appreciate the beauty of your garden in winter, whether it's the sculptural forms of dormant plants or the tranquility of a snow-covered landscape.
