Hallo zusammen!
Wir sind gerade erst eingezogen und lieben unseren Garten, haben aber keine Ahnung, wie wir ihn bewirtschaften sollen!
Wir haben die Bäume auf Foto A am Rand, wahrscheinlich etwa 20, und ich glaube, sie heißen Kirschlorbeer.
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, um welchen Baum es sich auf Foto B handelt
Und wir haben eine Glyzinie am Haus. Ich weiß nicht, wie sie den Rest des Jahres aussehen wird, aber im Moment sieht sie nicht besonders gut aus?
Gibt es einen Gottesdienst, bei dem ein Gärtner für eine Stunde vorbeikommt und mir erklärt, was ich tun soll?
Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Prob wait till morning
Search “Garden Consultation” or “Garden Advice”.
Many gardeners (including myself) offer this, and it’s exactly as you described, a walk around your garden explaining what you’ve got and how to care for it. It could also include suggestions for new planting, but doesn’t sound like you need that right now!
Do nothing until March.
nothing will look great at this time of year, take photos in daylight but nothing looks like it needs much, the tree at the end might need a prune but without knowing what kind it is you dont want to prune it in winter.
DO not prune the laurels in winter, that encorages growth and they do not need it. prune those back into shape in late spring.
Apart from that just wait till the summer and see what wakes up.
The wisteria is meant to look like that at the moment, leave it alone and see.
Sadly few services like that, also it wouldn’t be worth getting at this time of year as most things are dormant. get it in the spring if you do.
It all looks good.
Plants grow slowly in winter, if at all, so theres no rush.
I’d possibly reach out to a gardener or your local Facebook group & see if they’ll give you a run down. Trees & wisteria will need pruning at specific times of year.
The advice is usually wait 1 year to see what you have before you make (big) changes.
There’ll be lots of things that look dead & might continue to look dead until mid year. If you’re not sure, gently scrape the bark & see if there’s green.
Turn the light on!
I’d get the A off that line for a start
No. It’s dark and it’s winter.
Leave alone for at least a year to see what you have
Weird pics,the shrub looks like an Acer.
The ‘cherry laurels’ unusual to see these trained as standards,so possibly photinias.The wisteria,repost a picture of it in daytime showing location/situation
That garden has had a lot of TLC.
You might want to trim all that new top growth out of the tree during winter….January could be a good month to do it, and may have been when it was last done a year ago
Prune the whippy bits of the wisteria back to 7 buds from the main stem now…(In daytime)
Don’t have to, it’ll be fine if you don’t, just for best flowering and to keep it neat is the only reason.
Otherwise you’re good till March/April. Looks like a great mature garden to start off with 😊
You moved to the upside down?
Where do you live? Hell? Why does the sky look like you’re in a vampire movie?
Other than booking the exorcism for the giant bonsai in your garden, I think you’re fine 🙂
Of course it doesn’t look great. It’s January.
Defeat Vecna by the looks of things.
Juet be aware of the incoming apocalypse indicated in the sky. That’s all.
On the tree, cut all the ‘whips’ off, the twigs pointing straight up. Cut the other stuff back hard, it will grow quicker than you think.
Why on earth have you taken these at night? Secondly, it looks like a fair bit has been spent on this garden (pleached privacy trees and whatnot). Why are you in such a rush to alter things straight away? Wait until spring at least…
First thing Id do, is deal with that giant floating A in the sky. Thats not natural, you know…
Wait for the light to return,
Look for disease or running and take them off. They all seem fairly well shaped, so nothing drastic is needed. A very light prune to maintain shape
Those trees on the border are ‘pleached’ – look up how much they cost to buy. Someone has spent a lot of money on that garden! So you can be sure that the bones of what you have there are very good, and that is had been looked after.
Don’t panic about doing anything now – it will all be dormant for the winter. In spring you’ll be able to see more clearly what it happening.
Move out
Professional gardener here. “Cast ne’er a clout till September be out.” Best advice. Thank me later.
Dig em out, if ya don’t like em, cut em up and burn when dry
