Knowledge and resources about plants and planting are so vast they can be overwhelming. The best approach is to take advantage of information based on your areas of interest and then seek the guidance of a plant professional. Your local nursery or garden center has inspired people ready to offer advice.
Most plants benefit from an organic mulch covering the soil surface around them. A good organic mulch, such as hardwood bark mulch, conserves moisture, maintains a more even soil temperature, inhibits weed growth, and prevents soil compaction and erosion from rain and irrigation.
Look up and down before planting a tree. Your safety is paramount, and you want your tree to have long life without the possibility of removal or severe pruning because of obstruction of utility lines.
Follow these steps and you will nurture a healthy, vibrant tree that will provide years of outdoor enjoyment and sanctuary.
Pollinators are responsible for one-out-of-every-three bites of food we take each day, yet pollinators are at a critical survival point. Increasing the number of pollinator-friendly gardens and landscapes help revive the health of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Gardening doesn’t need to be a fair weather friend. Seasonal garden plans keep you actively gardening literally every day of the year if you desire and guide your activities so your garden continues to look its best all year.
Native plants are becoming more popular in landscaping because of their restorative role for natural habitats critical for a healthy ecological system. These plants help to sustain birds, pollinators, and insects that contribute to the natural habitat.
