January Gardening Tips
January might be the middle of winter but now is a great time to plan for the year ahead. To help you on your way here are some top tips from the gardeners in Bunratty Folk Park ...

1.Tidy up your garden shed and glasshouse in preparation for Spring. Watch for any signs of overwintering snails in your glasshouse as they love to feed on young spring seedlings.
2. Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that have become too large for their allocated space, and pot on the unwanted clumps to share with friends.
3. Winter Bedding, eg. pansies and primula, continue to dead head as they will continue to flower until early summer. Also remove any winter debris from your bedding as it can cause rotting.
4. January is a good time to plant woody plants and hedging as they can get an opportunity to root into the soil. 5. Continue to feed your feathered garden friends especially in frosty weather.

Happy Gardening!
