You can still enjoy time in the garden, even when it's raining!

1. 10 Things to do in
the Garden on a
Rainy Day

2. Our favourite gardening tips for a
rainy day...

3. Uproot hardy weeds like dandelions
whilst the soil is wet.
It’s much easier.

4. Help water logged
potted plants to dry off
by removing trays from
under them, and
placing them
somewhere out of the
rain to drain off.

5. Cover delicate or young plants with
cloches, or move them to shelter if
they’re in a pot.

6. Collect rainwater in
bottles, buckets, or
watering cans to
feed to your
houseplants; or
pop them all
outside for a quick
drink when the
rain is gentler.

7. Go on slug and snail patrol!
You can pick them off by hand, or lay
down deterrents such as coffee
grounds or crushed eggshells.

8. Turn the compost heap. Mix
up the wet and dry layers.

9. Collect and dry off
any seeds you want
to save for next year.

10. Clean and tidy the shed, green house,
or garage. Also take this time to clean
any garden tools and empty pots.

11. Start planning next year’s
garden. Think about
ordering seeds and
bulbs now.

12. Really don’t want to go outside?
Watch YouTube videos on
gardening, read gardening books
or magazines, or go for a wander
round your local garden centre.
