January may seem like a dormant month: it’s cold, miserable, and overall, pretty grey. Brighten up your garden with some flowers, vegetables, and fruits, which can all be planted under glass or under cover in preparation for the warmer weather! Your garden will be bountiful and beautiful in no time!

Your garden may not be the place you want to spend the most time in during winter, but it doesn’t have to look drab and grey. Even if the weather isn’t the warmest, or the driest, your garden can still be something lovely to look at through your kitchen window! Plus, you can use this time to get your garden ready for the first glimpses of spring, which isn’t that far away.

Add some solar lights

Possibly the most literal way to brighten up your garden, solar lights are an easy and eco-friendly way of brightening up your outdoors. Whether they’re tucked away in the darker corners of your garden, dotted amongst your flowerbeds, or hung on your fence, they’ll bring a lovely dose of light while the days are short and dark.

After Christmas, when the decorations are coming down and the festivities have been put to rest for another year, it can be hard to know what to do with your bare Christmas tree. A focal point in your house for almost a month, it’s now redundant, and the sad sight of Christmas trees piled up at the tip or outside people’s houses is only too common. However, instead of discarding your hardworking tree this year, why not put it to good use?

If you come across a sick or injured animal, it can be hard to know what to do. Wild animals can be unpredictable and dangerous, especially in vulnerable situations, so make sure that you follow this advice when approaching them to try and help.
