In the garden this week: Find stocking fillers, tidy and get ready for Christmas
Christmas is a time for entertaining so sweep you patios, plant your containers and start collecting stocking fillers from garden centres.
Start collecting small stocking- fillers from garden centres, for raffle prizes at local events, or as gifts for gardening friends.
Plant up patio containers for Christmas. With a large container, include red-stemmed cornus, a conifer or a small, standard-trained, blue-tinged holly tree as the centrepiece.
Do any little tidying jobs on the patio or in the front garden if you’ll be entertaining over Christmas, and sort out outdoor Christmas lights so there’s time to replace them if they don’t work.
