Gardens across the country are in full bloom as summer has finally arrived, with Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton VCourt Flower Show heralding the peak of the season. But that doesn't mean gardeners can sit on their laurels.
BBC Gardeners' World expert Monty Don has shared four plants and trees you should be pruning in July to promote regrowth and repeat flowering - making sure they stay in peak performance for months to come. Monty has highlighted specific jobs to complete this month to keep your gardens healthy and full of colour, in his latest blog post.
Pruning should be completed throughout the year to encourage health and flowering in plants, flowers and trees, with July being the ideal time to tackle summer shrubs. Several trees prone to bleeding due to pruning at other times of the year will also benefit from a cut this month.
