January is the start of a new gardening year and there are a lot of jobs to do this month to help tidy your space and get it ready. As well as vegetables, flowers, and shrubs to plant in January, it is also a good time to prune plants to keep them neat and in great shape for the year ahead.
It is a good time for pruning many shrubs, trees, and bushes, as they are in the middle of their dormancy period. By getting out and pruning in January, the often-simple task can help you get bigger harvests of fruit and better displays of flowers and color come summer.
