Keeping your garden clean and beautiful during winter can be a battle, as the cold weather ruins what you worked so hard for.

However, maintainin­g your garden during this season is not as difficult as you think. Here are four simple steps that can help you in your battle and transform your winter garden.

Winter flowers

A good start to keeping your garden prosperous during winter is buying winter plants that can thrive during this period. Pansies are particular­ly nice as they are extremely versatile and flower far longer than any other winter plant. They grow in sunny areas as well as partially shaded areas, making them easy to place.

Feeding the birds

You can create a lively feel in your garden by attracting birds to your home. This can be done easily by buying a bird shelter, feeding them or – better yet – both.

Clean

Keeping your garden area clean is an essential part to making any garden beautiful in any season. So you need to sweep and clean your patio, decking and balcony regularly. Also, falling leaves and wet weather can easily create slippery surfaces and if left, may start to rot. Make sure that your plants are well maintained so that they always look fresh and alive.

Colours

Choose colours that reflect the cold weather like cool shades of white, black and blue. This helps your garden look fresh and beautiful.
