Treat your garden to a new timber shed this winter

14:12:20 15th December 2009

The winter is among the best times of year to consider structural changes to the garden because the "bones" become exposed.

This according to Earth at Work´s Vivienne Hambly, whose gardening blog in the Guardian suggested that now may be a good time to invest in a new garden shed.

Because "summer´s go-go girls have removed their makeup and gone to bed", a barer winter garden makes it easier to see what changes are necessary, including the addition of inexpensive sheds.

Good timber sheds should always complement a garden´s features, so now may also be a good time to dream of "flower beds filled with wonderful things like peonies, agapanthus, alliums, alstroemaria and eucomis," Ms Hambly writes.

December and January is also the time to consider bigger structural changes, such as ripping out overgrown, tired hedges and replacing them with wide borders or lavender walks.

The BBC´s ´how to be a gardener´ series suggests that winter is "a great time to start construction jobs" in the garden ahead of the onset of spring.
