best season to start planting shrubs and flowers

What is the best season to start planting shrubs and flowers? I am about to embark on a new gardening project. With no real experience with gardens, I have been very successful with obtaining beautiful floral balconies. However, I will soon start to work on my son’s garden and would like to know what can be done over the autumn and winter months – Currently there are several shrubs in the garden but I would like to plants some perennials and cover a wall (approx. 5 meters long). Any general advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like a wonderful garden project and we would love to help you get started.
Fall is a great time to plant shrubs and perennials. Make sure the plants receive plenty of water to become established before they go dormant for winter.
