Default Garden Border Preparation:

Easter is the best time to review and tidy garden borders. Edges should be reshaped before everything is able to grow quickly and obscure them from sight. Any damaged fixed border edging can be repaired or replaced. Plants can be protected from slugs using slug pellets, nematodes or similar measures so that affected plants are not stunted throughout the year.
Snowdrops and crocuses will be flowering in the garden, as may also narcissi and daffodils. Most plants will not have started growing, meaning that the weeds will be at their most visible and can be removed. Applying a mulch to the soil is worthwhile at Easter, to prevent seeds of weeds growing again.
