When your summer-flowering blooms start to fade, temperatures begin to fall, and autumn leaves cover your lawn, you may be inclined to start pruning your plants. And while some plants require an end-of-season trim, there are many other plants you should never prune in autumn.
In the UK, autumn spans from the 1st of September to the 30th of November. Thankfully, there are still many autumn-flowering shrubs that can add colour and vibrancy to your garden during this time. But for the most part, your garden will start winding down in preparation for the colder months - and there are quite a few tasks you need to add to your to-do list to get your garden ready for winter.
