The garden is waking up, and you're in charge! It's time to start planting, pruning, and preparing your flower beds. Just like giving your house a good spring cleaning to help freshen it up after a long winter, you can take a similar approach to your yard to get it back in shape for the warmer months. Even after the snow and ice melts, it can be a little overwhelming to tackle all the work that needs to be done for a picture-perfect spring landscape. Use this checklist to help pace yourself as you get your flower beds, trees, shrubs, and other areas of your yard cleaned up. It's broken down into early, mid-, and late spring so you can plan out your garden clean-up tasks and hit each area of your landscape before summer arrives.
