It’s time for gardeners to be preparing their gardens for winter and the following spring. In the coming months, it’s all about tidying. Getting gardens in order before the winter really sets in is a good opportunity to push those products that will make the autumn easier. It’s all about giving gardens the headstart they need for spring.

Before the cold weather starts to set in, clearing the lawn of fallen leaves is a must. This allows air and nutrients to get to your lawn and it looks good too. A generous 42 litre tub (377596) will come in very handy, as gardeners begin to take on the clearance jobs this autumn.

Don’t leave the leaves behind

If the leaves are matted down they can even prevent new blades of grass emerging next spring. We recommend the Ambassador Lawn Rake, it’s ideal for the professional gardener, lightweight and made from recycled material - it also comes with a 5-year guarantee. Alternatively, there are those who would rather make clearing leaves a breeze, then the Einhell 18v Cordless Leaf Blower (105238), with its impressive strong blow-air velocity of 210 km/h, could make it to the top of many a gardener’s shopping list. 

Protect your lawn

The next job is to give the grass a helping hand in the winter months; Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Autumn Lawn Care (118214) helps to protect lawns from harsh winter weather, giving them the best start possible for next spring. While it kills moss, it also toughens the grass, strengthens the roots, and helps the lawn withstand the harshest of the wintry weather.

It’s not just us who need to stay warm this winter—greenhouse owners are also looking to protect their plants. The Ambassador Greenhouse Heater (106322) is a reliable, lower-priced option that has proven popular year after year.
