Die Tuinier - July/August 2025

In dieser Angelegenheit

Winter might be settling in, but that doesn’t mean the garden’s done for the year. In fact, it’s a great time to take a slower, more thoughtful approach to planting, planning, and enjoying the quieter beauty of the season.

This issue is packed with ideas to keep things looking good through the colder months. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite winter-tough shrubs – the kind that keep their shape, colour, and interest when everything else is looking a bit tired. Cyclamen are showing off, as always, and we take a fresh look at daylilies – surprisingly resilient and worth revisiting if you haven’t grown them in a while.

There’s also a bunch of inspiration for container gardening. Whether you’ve got a small patio or just love the flexibility of pots, we’ve got tips on how to make them work harder in winter. Plus, some fun and practical ideas for building your own planters from timber, stone, or even old bits of corrugated iron. For those thinking long term, we talk about choosing and planting trees – one of the most satisfying things you can do for your garden. Even a small space can take a tree (yes, really!) with the right planning and species. It’s a season to slow down a little, enjoy the process, and find beauty in the bare bones of the garden. So pop the kettle on, get comfy, and let’s dig into the good stuff together.
