From autumn to spring, making change in your garden is a great opportunity. Let’s take this chance to divide and propagate our plants, preparing new flowerbeds at a minimal cost. Summer- and autumn-blooming perennials are perfect candidates for division, while cuttings work wonders for heucheras and currant bushes. For other, such as primroses, you will need to wait until their spring blooming has finished—so be sure to leave space for them in your new plans!
