A little bit of care now can help ensure that your garden will survive the colder months ahead and create a beautiful bloom when spring comes around. If you’re planning on selling your home in the coming months, winterization of your garden will help you keep your hard healthy and attractive to potential buyers.
- Remove all the dead leaves and branches to allow healthy branches to grow stronger.
- A thick layer of mulch along the base of your plants will help regulate the temperature, giving your plants a blanket.
- Keep a polys-pun garden fabric on hand that you can use to cover annuals from frost.
- Check for pests and make any repairs to flower beds.
- Clean up any dead flowers or stalks as well.
