Time to prioritize your yard for spring
Published 8:00 am Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Spring is just around the corner, and it is a great time to plan for the planting season. Chose the area of interest you want to start with.
If you are unsure where to start, look around the yard to decide what the priority should be, whether it is a pool or patio area, front of house, side of house, at the street, natural areas or adding screening plants.
Once you have chosen where to begin, you should decide which plants would most improve the appearance of the area.
Another important step is to spend time looking at the different types of plant materials available.
This time of year is one of the best times to find a large selection of plant materials at the garden center.
You may want to bring a picture of the area you are planning for to the garden center to reference as you select your plant materials. More shipments of plants will be arriving soon in preparation for the upcoming planting season.
