For this year’s Garden Year linky I’m continuing to share advice from Songbird Survival about how we can make our gardens the best they can be for birds.
This year we’ve managed to get all of our lavender bushes trimmed ahead of the winter, which trust me is no mean feat. We have eight large-ish lavender bushes which can be back breaking work to trim, though on the plus side my garden bin smells the best it ever has!
NOT MY LAVENDER, BUT IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE SIMILAR QUANTITIES!

This month, Songbird Survival advise that October is an ideal month for planting trees, hardy summer bulbs and herbaceous perennials, and remember to leave fallen leaves as they provide shelter for wildlife.
