The last remnants of tinsel are being swept away and a new issue of Garden Answers is out now. In this issue we find inspiring ways to replace festive decorations with gorgeous displays of indoor plants. Try our step-by-step project on how to create a miniature desert landscape of mini cacti and succulents. And forget plug-ins and perfumed sprays: we pick the top plants to fill your home with natural fragrance.
Though this issue has plenty going on indoors, we don’t neglect the outdoors. We explore spidery-flowered and spicily scented witch hazels, the best dainty early spring bulbs, and our two garden tours include snowdrops galore in Worcestershire and a look forward to the best that early spring has to offer in a garden near the Firth of Forth. Not forgetting growing your own, we show you how to make a smart new support for tomato plants, and our veg patch columnist Alice Whitehead has a wealth of ideas for working your plot whatever the weather.
All this, plus our usual gorgeous ideas for borders, gardening tasks for the month ahead, a garden design solution for a wet and boggy patch, news, competitions and offers.
