Getting the yard ready for spring is super important! And one of the best ways to get everything in order, when the weather is ready, is by trimming plants for spring! Here are my tips for what to do in early spring!
Spring preparations are well underway at The Farm – finally! Although some days may still be cold and dreary, I am finding time to get the plants ready for the coming months. Before certain plants start to leaf out and show new growth, it is important to cut them back and prepare them for a new season. Roses, ornamental grasses, and certain Sedums need to be maintained before they start to grow. These early trimmings will help your plants be fuller and more beautiful!
