Inside the garden this week: Find stocking fillers, tidy and prepare for Christmas
Start collecting small stocking- fillers from garden centres, for raffle prizes at local events, or as gifts for gardening friends.
Plant up patio containers for Christmas. With a big container, include red-stemmed cornus, a conifer or a small, standard-trained, blue-tinged holly tree because the centrepiece.
Do any little tidying jobs at the patio or within the front garden if you’ll be entertaining over Christmas, and kind out outdoor Christmas lights so there’s time to exchange them in the event that they don’t work.
