Winter garden maintenance is essential for ensuring your outdoor space remains a source of joy and safety during the colder months. As winter settles across the Bellarine and Ballarat regions, My Garden Therapy is here to help protect and prepare your garden.
We believe your sanctuary should be a place of relaxation, not a source of worry as the weather turns cold.
Why Winter Accessibility Matters
With increased rainfall and shorter days, garden pathways can become slippery or obscured by winter debris. Under the new Support at Home Program, maintaining a safe external environment is classified as an essential service to support independence.
Our June Accessibility Checklist:
- Debris Clearing: Removing damp leaf litter to prevent slip hazards on pavers.
- Path Lighting & Visibility: Ensuring walkways are clear of overhanging winter growth.
- Structural Checks: Inspecting handrails and ramps for stability during wet weather.
