Spring Pruning

As the winter begins to wane and your garden begins to wake from its winter slumbers, spring pruning becomes essential to ensure your garden will be vibrant and healthy throughout the warmer months. 

By pruning in early spring Holly & Thyme will encourage your plants to grow more robustly, shaping their structure and optimising their bloom potential.  At Holly & Thyme, we are dedicated to helping your garden flourish by implementing expert spring pruning techniques – setting the stage for a spectacular garden as the season unfolds.

Pruning in spring has distinct advantages, as your plants are emerging from their dormant period and entering a phase of active growth. By carefully removing any lingering winter damage and shaping plants early, we can promote strong, healthy growth. Spring pruning also allows your plants to channel their energy into new shoots and blooms rather than maintaining older, weaker growth, ensuring a more abundant and resilient display.

Regular spring pruning will keep your garden in top condition all year-round, preventing your plants from becoming overgrown and enhancing overall plant health.  This is the time for careful, targeted cuts to encourage new growth and clear out any dead or damaged material accumulated over winter.  It’s an approach that Holly & Thyme will be fully engaged in over the coming months, as we prepare our clients’ gardens for a flourishing year ahead.

At Holly & Thyme, we recommend establishing a regular gardening subscription service to keep your garden looking its best through every season.  Beginning a routine in spring maximises garden performance, allowing us to implement essential care practices as your garden emerges from winter and heads into full bloom.
