Just read a great article in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Magazine - The Garden November 2018 Edition written by David Hurrion who is a popular journalist, broadcaster, horticulturist and a floral judge for the RHS.
Four Season Garden Maintenance want to share information to encourage gardeners old and new to get the best they can out of their garden all year round by sharing top tips.
In his article David talks about how gardens are getting 'ever smaller' so we can concentrate on creating eye-catching displays even in the most limited of space by using containers, planters and pots.
Being passionate about gardening Four Season Garden Maintenance liked how the article states 'you can enjoy long-lasting displays in the darkest of days of winter - precisely when you need colour to lift your spirits'.
You can also get creative with what you are putting your plants in. This time of year winter plants are slow growing and do not command as much space to you afford to fit a few more in your display to add the impact you are looking for.
