    As the garden dies back in winter, it can start to look a bit bare. But you should see this as an opportunity. While your garden is stripped back to its bare bones, you can put in evergreen structure for winter. It will anchor your summer plants and keep the garden looking strong throughout the winter months.

    Evergreens are great as a year-round framework for the garden. Use them to fill gaps in borders and cover boundary walls and fences to keep the garden bountiful over winter.

    Plant evergreen shrubs at different points throughout the garden to create anchors. Grow climbers up walls and plant evergreen hedges and trees. Conifers are great for rich foliage and you can even buy dwarf varieties for containers.

    For a less formal feel, try bamboo or a tall grass like Stipa gingantea. Play around with height for the best effect.

    Rhythm and repetition are important too. Repeat colours and shapes throughout the garden and along pathways to make the planting look cohesive. You can add an element of movement with swishy evergreen grasses, and don’t be afraid to grow evergreens in containers.

    Topiary is a great plant for structure because it can be made into any shape you like! Good plants include box, yew, bay, ilex, and conifers.

    Plant topiary balls, cones, spirals, or lollipops for striking evergreen focal points. Alternatively, if you’re feeling brave, you can create your own shapes. You can cut freeform, but I recommend using a topiary frame, which is a wire mesh shape that you place over the plant as a 3D template.

    You can even buy animal shapes like chickens!

    Use topiary in flower beds as an anchor or add two plants as markers by a gate or along a path. Topiary of different shapes and sizes also has a great effect when planted together.

    Evergreens don’t have to be green! There are many varieties that will add rich colour to your garden right through winter.

    Conifers come in a range of colours, from yellow to blue. Golden yew has stunning foliage as well as bright red berries, and they look elegant grown as a column. Variegated ivies are attractive climbers and will brighten up dark corners and shady walls with their mottled leaves.

    There are also evergreens that bear colourful flowers. Skimmia is a great winter plant that has delicate white flowers and rich red berries. Bear in mind that you need a male and female plant to produce berries, unless you get self-fertile ones.

    Viburnum tinus is a stunning shrub with shiny green foliage and delicate white flowers from December onwards. Or try winter jasmine for its delicate yellow flowers through winter and into early spring.

    And don’t forget winter heather, which comes in white, pink and red. It brightens up borders and containers with its striking flowers.

    Deciding what will serve as the base or container for your centrepiece is just as important as what’s going in it. Choose from a shallow bowl if you want part of your feature to incorporate floating flowers in water. A glass or patterned vase is great for flower bouquets or dried flower arrangements.

    However, it’s important to consider where it will be positioned in relation to your seating plan. The last thing you want is for it to obscure views of your loved ones.

    Instead of using a classic container, utilise a piece of cut wood or driftwood as the base to dress with foliage and materials.

    Take a woodland walk and gather twigs, pinecones, leaves and foliage. Although, it’s best to leave berries on plants for sustenance for birds through winter.

    Gathering these resources will help to bulk up the display. You could get old jars and surround them with twigs, tying them into place with string. Then, fill the jars with flowers and foliage to add some height and an extra pop of colour.

    Using dried fruit is a festive addition, that adds colour and also fragrance too. The scent of dried oranges is reminiscent of Christmas times, and when paired with cinnamon creates a completely festive aroma.

    Dried flower arrangements are continuing to increase in popularity, and you can create your own using flowers cut straight from your garden. You don’t need any special equipment or tools to do it either.

    Simply cut the flowers that you want to dry, ensuring they have good quality stems intact, then tie them in bundles using twine or an elastic band. Hang them upside down in a spot with good air circulation and then after 1-2 weeks, the flowers will be dried and ready for your flower display.

    When making the arrangement, stagger the flowers of different heights and add in a small amount of foliage to start with so it doesn’t dominate the display. The foliage will also help to support the flowers at the same time.

    Add light and some magical sparkle by adding candles to the mix. Of course, you need to be careful that they’re positioned where they are not at risk of setting any of the other materials alight.

    There are many types of candles to choose from. Pick a festive fragrance such as gingerbread, cinnamon or pine to add another dimension to your centrepiece. You can get Christmas shaped candles such as trees, reindeers, and Christmas cottages too.

    If you want to opt for a simple design, straight dinner candles add height and can be found in white, green, and red for classic Christmas colours.

    Just like decorating your home and Christmas tree, there are many styles to choose from. Whether you want a minimalist, Scandinavian style décor or would rather a maximalist Kitsch design.

    For a simple and subtle look, use white and grey placemats, surrounding your effortless centrepiece made up from a white tray or plate, with white candles and cuttings of eucalyptus.

    Depending on your Christmas décor choices, your Christmas table centrepiece needs to match your theme. Opt for a minimalist tablescape with candles and minimal foliage or put on a show with all the natural resources that your garden and a woodland walk have to offer. I’d love to see pictures of your Christmas table, so send me picture over Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

    Christmas has been on everyone’s mind this week, with worries that we might not be seeing our loved ones. So there is more reason than ever to spread some cheer where you can. Get involved this year with Illumination Street to get that festive feeling.

    Over the past seven months, millions of people have turned to their gardens and local outdoor spaces for respite and solace. So, why not continue that into winter?

    My brilliant Illumination Street campaign, which we launched last year, is picking up today where our Cultivation Street contest left off. It inspires Brits to make the most of the outdoors.

    It’s all about using gardens as the foundation for a festive fountain of colour and light. Illumination Street, supported this year by the British Garden Centres group, gives everyone the chance to showcase their efforts and encourage others outdoors.

    We have £5,000 worth of British Garden Centres group gift vouchers to be won for the very best efforts. So pretty soon gardens will go from blooms to (light) bulbs, with the festive season upon us.

    Tip:

    Use bubble wrap around pots and containers to protect them against frost and keep plant roots safe from the harsh winter weather.

    You don’t want a leaky shed roof in winter, so reduce the risk by cutting branches hanging over it. This will stop them from snapping, falling and causing damage. Also, an all-weather roof coat could be a useful addition, or re-felt the roof if it is damaged.

    They are useful structures to have because they improve drainage, which reduces the risk of waterlogging, and they also allow you to add a new soil type to your garden to suit what you want to plant. They are also perfect for improving access if you have restricted mobility and let you grow all year round.
