Spring Cleaning Garden Tasks
Remove Mulch and Prune Your Flowers
Start by removing any dead annual plants, leaves, stems and all. For your perennials, if you see any new growth coming in, it’s time to remove the mulch from those as well.Â
Cut Back Your Ornamental Grasses
If you left your ornamental grasses up over the winter, now is the time to cut back on them. This will help to create a good growing environment for the coming season.
Clean Any Garden Decor
If you have any decorative pieces hanging in your garden, or tacked to your fence, etc., it probably got pretty dirty and grimy over the winter. Now is the time to clean all of these pieces. It may seem minor, but trust me, it will make a big difference in the appearance of your garden.Â
