The weather is starting to even out after that batch of super rainy days and cooler temperatures. Just in time to get outside and get your garden going for spring! We’ve got some tips to prepare your yard and plants for success this green season.

Clear Debris –

Get up all the twigs, dead leaves, any wood or logs… just tidy up the ground as you would your living room floor. Toss everything into the trash or add smaller bits to your compost pile.

Repair Birdhouses and Clean Birdbaths –

Any old birdhouses might need a refresh. Clear out old nests from last season and make sure there aren’t any nails or large splinters on the inside. For birdbaths, make sure they are dumped and scrubbed down to get all of the gunk that may have built up. Add fresh water and enjoy! 

Re-Mulch & Touch Up Bed Edges –

Nothing can revive a sad garden in the spring like some fresh mulch and giving some attention to the edges/trim of your flower beds. If you can find some cheap bricks or stone, arrange them around the perimeter to really define the area.

Clean Clay/Ceramic Pots –

Empty any extra soil from last season into a pile and give them a good hose down and scrub with a stiff bristle brush – good as new! Ready to house a fresh plant.

Check Outdoor Seating Areas –

Wash seat cushions and test wood seating for rot. Better to test now than end up on the ground later! 

Hope these tips inspire you to get out and enjoy working in your own yard! Better to do it now than when the weather gets too hot, right?
