As the cooler days approach, it's essential to think about preparing your garden for autumn. Plantations Weisen can help you make this seasonal transition so that your green spaces remain harmonious, healthy and ready to face winter. From pruning to planting and ecological gestures, here are the key points to anticipate the new season with peace of mind.
Anticipating your garden's needs before winter
Pruning and cleaning
In fall, pruning is essential to ensure the good health of your plants.
-
Remove dead or damaged branches.
-
Prune defoliated shrubs.
-
Clean up beds by removing dead leaves and weeds.
This limits the spread of disease and prepares the soil for future planting.
Mulching and protection
Gardens in autumn need special attention to keep them warm and moist.
-
Spread a layer of mulch (bark, dead leaves, compost).
-
Protect cold-sensitive plants with a winter veil or thicker mulch.
Taking care of the soil
Well-nourished soil is the key to a resilient garden. Remember to enrich it with compost or organic fertilizer before winter.
What to plant in autumn?
Bulbs for spring
Autumn is the ideal time for planting:
-
Tulips
-
Narcissus
-
Crocus
These bulbs will give you an explosion of color as soon as the sun comes out.
Shrubs and perennials
Planting in autumn allows the roots to establish themselves before the summer heat sets in. Choose flowering shrubs or hardy perennials to give structure and continuity to your beds.
Fruit trees
It's also the perfect time to plant young fruit trees (apples, pears, cherries), so that they take root gently before spring.
Small ecological gestures to adopt
Recycling fallen leaves
Instead of throwing them away, use them as mulch or turn them into compost. In this way, they become a precious resource.
Promoting biodiversity
-
Leave a few piles of wood or leaves for the hedgehogs.
-
Install nesting boxes or insect hotels.
These simple gestures will make your autumn garden more resilient to the vagaries of the weather.
Preparing your garden for autumn is an essential step in ensuring the health and beauty of your outdoor spaces. With Plantations Weisen's help, you'll have a garden that's ready for winter and ready to bloom in spring.
