Do you only think about raking leaves and cutting back perennials when doing autumn gardening?

Then we have a completely different approach for you!

Because autumn is the perfect time of year to create eye-catchers in winter and a blossom explosion in spring.

This changes nothing for you.

Garden and balcony owners' hearts always bleed a little in autumn.

Because the garden is celebrating its farewell with a spectacular firework display of colors before the cold winter break begins.

In addition to the necessary gardening work in autumn, such as disposing of leaves, cutting back perennials and making cold-sensitive plants frost-resistant, you can already think one step ahead!


Because then it's time for what is probably the most beautiful of all gardening tasks: making the garden more beautiful!

Once all the important mandatory tasks have been completed, you can think of a garden in winter magic - and of course of the distant spring, for which arrangements can already be made in autumn.

Fall gardening chores that make winter beautiful

When snow, frost and hoarfrost cover the garden and balcony in an icy garment, plants unfold a special magic.

But snow is becoming increasingly rare in winter and the gardens often vegetate in a uniform gray for weeks.

We have found a few wonderful ideas for you so that the view of your garden or terrace and balcony is pleasant even in the dreary season.

Eternal light in the dark

Solar torches have long been a trend in German gardens.

But nothing comes close to the naturalness of an open flame that flickers to illuminate the wintry darkness.

This refillable concrete fire in different versions can be used again and again and provides anticipation for the Christ child.

An old building for hungry birds

The half-timbered birdhouse becomes an eye-catcher in the garden in winter.

While conventional, brown wooden bird feeders in the garden like to disappear between all the branches, this half-timbered villa is a real eye-catcher!

In it, large and small birds have enough space to peck next to each other.

Handcrafted with a weather resistant paint finish and metal roof.

Order a bird feeder

Bird seed that is as inexpensive as it is extremely popular in winter: heat 1 liter of vegetable oil (never use animal fat such as lard!) in a large saucepan and stir in 4 packs of oat flakes.

The mix of carbs and fat is what birds love, and it costs next to nothing.

You can find them in British country house gardens as well as in country gardens here: picket fences that create a beautiful structure in the wintry white garden when it snows.

This one was made in Germany as a premium product from untreated sweet chestnut wood and is naturally protected against mould, fungal attack and insect damage.

Available in heights of 50 - 200 cm.

Gardening in autumn with a view of spring

How happy garden owners are when the first greens of spring sprout and daffodils, tulips and crocuses fight their way through the earth to the surface in the warming sunlight!

Autumn is the time to put spring flowering bulbs in the ground.

Because most onion plants need the wintry cold stimulus to get off to a good start in the new season.

But not only spring flowers should be planted in autumn.

Trees and shrubs such as roses and shrubs can also be planted between October and March, provided the ground is not frozen.

So-called "bare-root" goods, i.e. plants with bare roots without balls, are usually much cheaper than balled or potted goods.

One more reason to start thinking about a new look for the garden in autumn.

Of course, it's no secret that tulip bulbs are planted now in the fall.

A secret, however, is this elegantly packaged set of real Dutch tulip bulbs "Triumph" in mixed colours.

A wonderful gift for garden and balcony owners, with a lot of anticipation for spring in the bag.

Christmas tree in a pot

No, don't worry, we won't come to you right away with Christmas tree balls in early autumn!

However, you can already invest in this small mini version of a Christmas tree in autumn.

The sugar loaf spruce looks cute on the balcony or in the garden at the festival - and is allowed into the garden in spring to become a "real" Christmas tree (3-4 m) between snowdrops at some point.

Snow White – plant snow-white flowers

White as snow: the Snow White shrub rose can now be planted in autumn.

Autumn is a good time of year to plant roses.

With this snow-white shrub rose, the name says it all: Snow White is a fragrant homage to the winter white splendor and makes garden owners dream of the next flowering season.

The robust, hardy shrub rose was chosen as a world rose in 1983.

Order Rose Snow White

Provided the ground is not frozen, you can plant most trees and shrubs from October to March.

Casting is also important despite the low temperatures.
