why will my garden tap not turn on?

Turn off the water supply to tap, get a spaner or grips undo anti clockwise untill the top section comes away from the fixed part of body, look into body for the pluger with a rubber washer on the end take plunger to a plumbers mechant and get a new washer. Then refit in reverse order. Hopefuly your tap will now work.

When you say will not turn on, Do you mean that it will turn, but no water comes out? If so do you have an isolator in the house somewhere, Some places do, to turn off for winter, to save freezing. If not, and tap is stuck, you will have to use more force, or replace the tap.
