Tasmania's distinct seasons necessitate deliberate, well timed gardening. Our seasonal recommendations will help you understand what to plant, prune, and prepare so that your garden flourishes throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
Check back often for updated guides and monthly to dos tailored to your region.
Use the winter to clear up beds, prune deciduous trees, and prepare the soil for spring planting.
Now’s the time for leafy greens like spinach, kale and broad beans. These flourish in Tasmania's chilly winter weather.
Use mulch, coverings, or cloches to protect young or frost sensitive plants from cold nights and snaps.
Add compost or aged manure to garden beds. It breaks down slowly in winter and enriches your soil before spring growth begins.
Turn kitchen wastes into nutrient rich soil to help your plants grow better.
Use mulch and native plants to reduce water consumption naturally.
Keep bugs away with companion planting and homemade sprays.
Build healthy soil layers without disturbing underground ecosystems.
