A Comprehensive Checklist for Winter Yard Prep


Winter

Winter can be a beautiful time of year in your garden. Although you may not enjoy it in a conventional way, you can create a wonderland by filling empty flower boxes and pots with evergreen branches. Then let nature run its course and dust the landscaping with sparkling snow.

Potted Plants
  • Water indoor plants regularly
  • Clean empty pots for the Spring
  • Most gardeners tend to start their planting indoors or in a greenhouse in the Spring, however if you have the room, you may start a little earlier so your plants are a more mature before you transfer them outdoors. For details on how to grow plants from seed, take a look at this handy guide.
  • Indoor herb gardens are a great way to enjoy fresh flavours in the Winter. Take a look at this handy guide for more information.
  • Tropical plants grown indoors during the Winter will take the chill out of the season so consider potting/purchasing a couple to warm your home.
Trees & Shrubs
  • Gently shake snow free of branches after heavy snowfalls to prevent breakage.
