Winter Update: Storm Recovery, Beekeeping, and Spring Prep in the Cottage Garden

Welcome to my cottage garden winter update! In this video, I share how the garden fared during Storm Eowyn, give a quick update on the bees, and start preparing the spring-cut flower beds with fresh mulch. I will also take you through what’s currently growing in the garden and my plans for the months ahead. Whether you’re looking for January garden inspiration or ideas for winter gardening tasks, there’s something here for you.

If you're looking for more Winter videos to watch, some garden programmes I have been loving this Winter are Monty Don's British Gardens on BBC, Garden Answer's YouTube channel and watching back old episodes of Gardeners World before it is back in 2025.

I am delighted to announce that my second book, "Heart & Home" by Catherine Carton, is now available.

The book is not just about home and garden projects; it's about creating a space that truly reflects you. From wall panelling to simple projects and growing your garden, I share my personal tips for putting your heart into your home.

The book will be available from all major retailers, including Amazon. However, they will not have signed copies.

Order my first book now: Carving time out of our hectic, plugged-in lives to play and create can bring stillness and satisfaction. The projects in my book are for everyone, so take a break from the world, reignite your creative spark and make your home a little bit more beautiful! In my book, I share over fifty of my favourite projects, from upcycling, crafting, sewing, painting and gardening, many of which take unloved items and make them shine again.
