Use our UK gardening calendar to find practical advice for every month and season. The guides below cover common gardening jobs such as planting, lawn care, watering, harvesting, protecting plants and preparing your garden for changing weather. Choose a seasonal guide for an overview of the main priorities during spring, summer, autumn or winter. For a more detailed checklist, select the relevant month to see which jobs are commonly suitable at that point in the gardening year. Gardening conditions vary across the UK, so treat the calendar as a guide rather than a fixed schedule. Check local temperatures, rainfall, frost risk, soil conditions and plant growth before starting work, particularly when digging, planting, mowing or watering.
