The season your garden comes alive.
Fresh growth, thoughtful care and outdoor spaces ready to be enjoyed.
Spring has arrived, bringing longer days, fresh growth and the promise of more time outdoors. After a wet Melbourne winter, now is the moment to help gardens recover, refresh tired areas and prepare for the warmer months ahead.
In this issue, we share the practical jobs that matter now, planting ideas for a fresh spring lift and a reminder to plan early if you are considering a larger garden transformation.
Your spring to-do list.
Tidy, prune & reset.
Remove winter damage, shape hedges and cut back spent growth so healthy new shoots have room to flourish.
Feed for fresh growth.
Apply a quality slow-release fertiliser and refresh mulch to support strong growth while helping the soil retain moisture.
Check irrigation.
Test every zone now, clear blocked nozzles and adjust run times before warmer weather increases demand.
Bring lawns back.
Repair bare areas, aerate compacted soil and feed tired turf to encourage dense, even growth.
Plant for colour.
Use layered combinations of foliage, flowers and grasses for colour that feels considered rather than crowded.
