Talkback: Derelict gardens
French neighbours say. I' m all for wild / neglected gardens but when you see abandoned prams and assorted scrap metal mixed in then it' s not so good. Every autumn I usually do the annual tidy up and cutting back to make the garden neat and tidy by Allotment Robin

flowering bergenia
just cut away the dead flowers to tidy it up.  I am hardly ever without flowers on my bergenia and my flower arranging friends find the leaves very useful. Thank you - I thought they only flowered later in the year - learning something new all the time by Standen1

Willow Tree in need of a haircut.
the trunk and it's got dead branches at interviles. It leaves and flowers come out fine, I think it needs a tidy up.   But I don't want to kill it.  When should I prune it?  How hard can I cut it back, hard or light? Will it hurt it to cut it back? Thank you by Angelsflower
