🍂❄️ Creating an Autumnal Winter Garden Bed ❄️🍂

Build a cosy, low-maintenance bed that shines from autumn through winter. We’ll prep with peat-free compost and grit for drainage, then layer structure (evergreens and grasses) with pops of colour: hellebores, cyclamen, pansies/violas, heuchera, skimmia, heather, and fiery dogwood stems. Add scent (sarcococca/daphne), tuck in bulbs (snowdrops, crocus, ‘Tête-à-Tête’ daffs), finish with bark/leaf-mould mulch, and add simple frost protection. Bonus: edible pockets (kale, chard, parsley) and wildlife-friendly touches. #AutumnGarden #WinterGarden #UKGardening #Allotment #GrowYourOwn #NoDig #PeatFree #WildlifeFriendly #WinterInterest #Hellebores #Cyclamen #Pansies #Violas #Heuchera #Skimmia #Heather #Dogwood #OrnamentalGrasses #Bulbs #Snowdrops #Crocus #Daffodils #GardeningWithBen
