In December flowers are few and far between so the focus in the garden shifts. Planting structural and interesting shrubs and bushes comes to the fore, and helps make the winter garden something to celebrate instead of a place to avoid.
It's also a great time to look ahead to next summer by thinking about planting fruit bushes and trees, especially bare root varieties. You can plant rose bushes too, as well as start off your favorite flower seeds indoors to get ahead on the spring seed sowing rush.
