Preparing Your Garden For Winter

With temperatures this weekend likely to fall below freezing there are a few things you can do to keep you plants healthy and happy.

Mulch around all perennials especially newly planted ones to prevent heaving.
Spray WiltPruf on Evergreens to prevent the foliage from drying out and becoming winter burnt.
Wrap the trunks of young trees to protect them from the cold winter wind.

Enjoy the snow!

Make sure to check out end of the year sales at your local nurseries. As long as the soil isn’t frozen you can plant many types of trees and shrubs. This is the weekend for the deal of the year.

Bergen County just got it’s own gardening and landscaping blog. We’re looking for a few beginner and expert gardeners to blog on a regular basis about what’s going on in their towns.
