🌱🌸 Top Gardening Jobs to Tackle in March! 🌸🌱
March is when the garden really starts to wake up! The days are getting longer, there’s a little more warmth in the air, and it’s the perfect time to get ahead for the upcoming season.
Here are 5 useful gardening jobs to focus on this month:
🌼 Plant Summer-Flowering Bulbs
Now’s the time to plant begonia, agapanthus and dahlias indoors or in mild areas outside. You’ll thank yourself later when your garden is bursting with colour!
✂️ Prune Shrubs & Roses
Cut back bush and climbing roses before new growth really gets going. You can also prune buddleia and other late-flowering shrubs to encourage strong new shoots.
🌾 Start Weeding Early
Tackle weeds while they’re still small and easier to remove. Clearing beds now prevents them from competing with your plants later in the season.
🥕 Start Sowing Veg Seeds
Hardy vegetables like carrots, beetroot, spinach and peas can be sown outdoors (weather permitting). It’s also a great time to start tomatoes and chillies indoors.
🌿 Tidy Lawns & Borders
Rake up debris, edge your borders and give your lawn its first gentle cut on a dry day. A little effort now makes a big difference!

🌱🧑🌾 5 Gardening Jobs to Do Right Now! 🧑🌾🌱
Spring is getting closer, and now’s the perfect time to give your garden (and home!) a little attention. Here are 5 simple jobs to get stuck into this week:
🌸 Refresh Bedding Plants
Remove any tired or weather-damaged winter bedding and replace with fresh plants to keep displays looking their best. Deadhead where needed and give them a light feed to encourage continued flowering.
🌷 Plant & Prepare Bulbs
There’s still time to plant flowering bulbs for seasonal colour, and it’s ideal timing to get your vegetable and fruit bulbs organised too! Make sure they’re planted in well-drained soil and positioned correctly for the best results.
🥔 Start Chitting Seed Potatoes
Place seed potatoes in a cool, bright spot to encourage sturdy shoots before planting outdoors in the coming weeks.
🧹 Tidy Beds & Borders
Clear away fallen leaves, trim back dead growth and neaten edges. A good tidy-up now will make spring growth stand out beautifully.
🪴 Care for Houseplants
Give leaves a gentle wipe to remove dust, check if plants need repotting, and start light feeding as growth begins to pick up. A little care now keeps them thriving indoors.
If you need bulbs, bedding plants, compost, feeds or houseplant pots, pop into Hilltop Garden Centre — we’ve got everything you need to get growing.
