3. Pruning and tidying up

As winter fades, pruning in early spring becomes essential in nurturing your garden for new growth. Pruning not only shapes your plants but also stimulates them, encouraging healthier, more vigorous growth.

When I prune, I always do it with a purpose: to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation or stimulate productive growth. I use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts, always taking into account the natural shape and health of the plant.

Instead of seeing fallen leaves and twigs as waste, I view them as valuable resources. Light layers of leaves can be left in place to decompose naturally, enriching the soil. Larger pieces can be added to the hugelkultur, compost pile or used as mulch, contributing to the garden’s regeneration cycle.

Instead of throwing away all the garden waste, I create habitats in discreet corners of the garden. These piles provide shelter for beneficial insects and small wildlife, turning what might be seen as rubble into an asset for biodiversity.

My approach to cleanup is gentle and deliberate, preserving soil structure and the microhabitats it supports. I avoid compacting the soil with heavy equipment and use hand tools whenever possible, keeping in mind the delicate balance of the garden. I often find that what initially seems like a clean-up task is actually an opportunity to observe and learn. A patch of garden that seems overgrown could be a thriving micro-ecosystem that provides food and shelter for a variety of creatures.
