More from Gardeners’s World magazine

Welcome

We love February • The more pessimistic gardener, when confronted with February, may possibly scowl, pull their woolliest cardigan tighter and proclaim that “the only good thing about February is that it is short.” On these pages we are not like that: we are smiley, optimistic and a friend to all seasons. It may be cold and miserable, and our gardens may be a bit bleak and soggy, but we know that if we look hard enough there is colour and that spring is looming. We greet February with a cheerful whistle and a quick tap dance: apart from anything else it really winds up the pessimists!
