Sempervirens Gardening | Posted on March 3rd, 2025

As the days get longer and the air begins to warm, it’s time to shake off the winter chill and get ready for a vibrant spring garden. Spring is a season of renewal, and your garden is no exception! Here are a few simple steps we recommend to help prepare your outdoor space for a fresh start:

1. Clean Up Your Garden Beds: Start by removing any dead leaves, branches, or other debris left over from winter. This will help prevent pests and diseases from taking root.

2. Test Your Soil: Give your soil a check-up! Testing your soil’s pH and nutrient levels will help you know what amendments are needed for healthy growth throughout the season.

3. Prune Dormant Trees and Shrubs: If you haven’t already, prune any dead or damaged branches from your trees and shrubs. This will encourage new growth and keep your plants healthy.

4. Prepare for Warm Weather Plants: Consider starting seeds indoors for your summer garden favorites—think tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. This gives them a head start before they’re ready for the great outdoors!

Spring is all about fresh beginnings, so take these simple steps to set the stage for a garden full of life and color. Happy gardening!
