Potted Plants
Bring your tender potted plants inside before the frost – greenhouses and conservatories are best.

Lift Tender Perennials
It is a good idea to lift tender perennials before the harsh weather, and store them in a cool and frost-free environment.

Protecting Plants
Use a hard frame or cover with cloches to protect more tender plants.

Mulching
Add a layer of mulch on top of the beds in your garden, this will help protect the soil from frost – straw is a brilliant mulch material as it is breathable.

Fleece Up
Protect your plants by covering them in fleece in the evenings – this will protect them from frost and snow.

Watering
It is a good idea to water your plants in the morning once the temperatures have dropped – this reduces the risk of water freezing over if watered in the evening.
