The start of the year is a perfect time for garden planning. When the conditions outside may be far from desirable (which is common for many of us in January) grasp the opportunity to come up with new ideas for tweaking border or pot displays for the season ahead.

Possibly one of the best amendments you can do is to make any space more wildlife-friendly, so your garden becomes a haven for essential pollinators and beneficial insects. It needn’t be an expensive transformation, as some of the best perennials you can choose to do this with are available as bare-root plants at this time of year.
