Gardening calendar: March jobs

Tips and tasks for a beautiful March garden

March is when winter turns to spring so start your month propagating and dividing and then get planting as the cold weather becomes milder. It's a great idea to plant your lilies at the end of the month and make sure you look after your snowdrops. 

Here's your to-do list for the garden in March: 

Propagate perenials

Cut grass

Sow half-hardy annuals

Prune hydrangeas

Plant lilies

Divide snowdrops

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
