What to do in the garden in February

There is nothing worse than looking out on the garden in the winter months there is just so much to do it’s can start to feel a  little overwhelming.  Don’t worry the people at Wilko have created a blog to get you started.  Starting this month, they talk about doing a bit of tidying and sorting out so it’s ready for spring.   Have a look at their Feb checklist to get you started!
