Tim's winter gardening & landscaping tips:

Winter is a season full of quiet potential. While the garden may seem asleep, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and plan for the seasons ahead.

Plan for Spring/kōanga: Now’s the time to think about new garden beds, landscape upgrades, or layout changes. A winter design sets you up to hit the ground running in spring.

Winter pruning: Winter is ideal for pruning deciduous fruit trees and roses—removing dead or crossing branches and shaping for airflow.

Build your soil: Add compost, well-rotted manure, or organic mulch to feed your soil over winter. Healthy soil is the foundation of strong, thriving plants.

Planting: Fruit trees, berries, garlic, lettuces, spinach, silverbeet, beetroot, bok choi, brassicas, and natives can all go in now.

Tidy Up: Clear fallen leaves and add them to garden beds as mulch, clean out gutters, and neaten paths. Leave some

natural debris for beneficial insects and birds.
