Things to do in November

With shorter days and cooler weather, things are continuing to quieten down in the garden this month. But there’s still plenty of opportunity to enjoy stunning late-autumn colour with some careful planning. It’s also an ideal time to tick off some garden maintenance jobs to get ahead before next spring.

Don’t forget to consider the needs of your local wildlife, too, especially if you’re considering a bonfire. With the cold winter ahead, a little helping hand will be welcomed.

Fill up your flask with a hot drink, wrap up in some warm clothes and enjoy everything that November has to offer.
