How to prepare a typical English garden for winter?

Sunshine. questioned:


I have a medium sized typical English garden with Forsythia, Hydrangea, a few clipped Box bushes, Redcurrant bushes, Roses and a huge Cordyline palm. The grass is overlong but too wet to cut and also full of fallen leaves from next door’s tree. I’d like to do a final clean up before retiring till spring. Does anyone have any tips for getting the best out of my garden over winter. Also, are there any excellent bedding plants to add a splash of colour.

Should I kill everything in my new bare garden before winter?

Dustin questioned:


I recently had a large part of my yard where there was a 30′ pool dug out and removed. I replaced it with top soil very rich in nutrients from a friends farm. We are plotting to start a garden in the spring. The problem is that a weird clover looking plant has started to take the space over. Should I kill all of this before winter or worry about it in the spring?
