If you think gardening season is winding down, think again. While the hottest days of summer are behind us, the mild weather right now is actually one of the best times to get jobs done in your garden. Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your lawn, prepare for next spring, or bring extra bursts of colour to your borders, there’s still plenty of time — and we’ve got everything you need.
Give Your Lawn a Fresh Start
Lawns often take a beating through summer – from heat, dry spells, and heavy use. Late summer and early autumn offer the ideal conditions for sowing new grass seed: warm soil, consistent moisture, and fewer weeds. If you’ve got patchy or tired-looking areas, overseeding now will give your lawn a head start before winter, so you’ll enjoy a thicker, greener sward come spring.
Explore our range of lawn grass seed mixes to find the right match for your garden.
Feed for Stronger Growth
It’s not just about seed – your lawn also needs the right nutrition to recover and strengthen. A well-timed application of fertiliser now will encourage deeper root growth, improve colour, and help your grass stay healthy through the colder months. Think of it as giving your lawn an energy boost to see it through the year.

Sow Wildflowers for Next Year’s Colour
Wildflowers aren’t just for spring. Late summer and early autumn are perfect for sowing many mixes, as the seeds establish naturally and are ready to burst into life the following year. Whether you’re after a pollinator-friendly patch, a cottage-garden look, or a bold splash of annual colour, sowing now means you’ll be rewarded with stunning displays as early as next spring.
Discover our wildflower seed mixes and plan ahead for a pollinator-friendly garden.
