When it comes to our gardens, there's no denying that most of us tend to be fair-weather friends. In the summer months, you spend every minute out there, referring to it as your 'sanctuary' or 'haven', then by the end of October, it may as well have never even existed.
While a large reason behind this flighty relationship does, of course, fall upon the drop in temperature, there is also another element at play, and that is the fact that too many of our landscaping ideas are centered solely around the summer, leaving us with an outdoor area that isn't fit to stand up to the frostier months.
