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!
