GardenCentreOnline.co.uk Discusses Gardening During Winter

Online, October 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Online retailer of gardening and home products GardenCentreOnline.co.uk discusses gardening during the winter months.

Gardening is an incredibly enjoyable hobby that many people partake in. There's nothing more satisfying than watching a plant grow from a seed and turn into a fully grown plant that could even produce some fruit or vegetables for you.

However when winter hits the plants start to die and anything that will survive usually loses its leaves and lies dormant for a few months. This can be quite disheartening for a gardener, as there isn't much to do in the garden while nothing will be growing, but there's still a lot a gardener can do in the house in winter.

There are loads of different plants that flourish during winter in the home and others that flourish all year round. A Spiderplant is a great plant to have as they can take a lot of neglect but still keep on surviving. Many people also have Peace Lilies and Orchids which they maintain through winter, as these plants do need care or they will die.

A Customer Service Spokesman for GardenCentreOnline.co.uk added, "Many gardeners simply stop their gardening for winter as they can't be bothered with it. There are still loads of things that people can be doing however. Many plants need to be kept clear of snow through the winter or they will never recover and grow back in the spring. Some trees produce berries in winter, and maintaining a tree can keep it looking beautiful all through the colder months."

Berries produced by trees in the winter are highly essential to garden birds, as without this natural food source they will suffer greatly. By maintaining a few different trees that will produce berries in the winter, gardeners can give themselves something to do while the rest of the garden takes a break.
