Problem Plants? Don’t Waste them! 🍁 Save Plants by Pruning or Moving 🌳It's all about Time

If your garden looks overgrown or out of shape in winter, it doesn’t always mean plants need removing. In this video, we talk through when to move, prune, and manage garden plants at the right time of year — and why timing is everything in the garden.

With the ground frozen solid, now isn’t the time to move trees or shrubs, but there’s still plenty you can do. We cover:

When deciduous trees can be safely moved

The best time to move and hard-prune evergreen shrubs

Why March and September are key months for garden renovations

How to rescue overgrown plants instead of replacing them

Planting tulips and spring bulbs late (and why they’ll still flower)

Pruning advice for Bay, Fatsia, Mahonia, Choisya & Hydrangeas

Why leaving some areas “scruffy” helps wildlife and beneficial insects

Using climbing hydrangeas for north-facing walls

We also revisit a real garden that looked like it needed clearing — and show how, with the right timing and confidence, most plants can be reshaped, moved, or managed back into a beautiful garden.
