The chill of winter has not completely dissipated, but we have already begun to look forward to the arrival of spring. Especially the garden at home, which seems a little quiet and desolate during the long winter, is in desperate need of your care. Before spring arrives, there are many important things worth doing in advance. These preparations can not only make the garden full of vitality come spring but also bring us a full sense of accomplishment and pleasure. Let me introduce to you the 8 things that must be done in the garden before spring.

• Comprehensive cleaning:Thoroughly clean up the dead branches, leaves, and debris that accumulate during winter. These not only affect the beauty of the garden but may also harbor germs and pests. Cleaning them up can create a good environment for the new growing season. You can use a rake to gather the fallen leaves into piles and then collect them properly into garbage bags. Refrain from blowing leaves into the road, which can become a hazard for drivers especially when wet.

• Fine pruning:Carefully observe the growth trend of each plant and prune it carefully. Remove those crossed, sick,and weak branches to make the plant more beautiful, while also improving ventilation and light conditions and promoting healthy growth of your plants. For different plants, appropriate pruning tools and methods should be used. For example, pruning shears are suitable for thinner branches, while a saw is needed for removing thicker branches.

• Remove weeds:Carefully check every inch of the garden and remove the weeds one by one. Weeds will compete with flowers and plants for nutrients, water,and sunlight, which can seriously affect their growth. When removing weeds, try to pull out the roots completely to prevent them from growing again. For some weeds with deep roots, you can use tools such as a small shovel to assist.

• Reasonablefertilization: Reasonable fertilization is crucial before the arrival of spring. It effectively revitalizes the soil’s fertility. After a long winter, the nutrients in the soil are lost due to plant growth and natural consumption. According to the fertility of the garden soil and the types of plants planted, choose the appropriate fertilizer for application. When fertilizing, pay attention to controlling the amount and method to avoid excessive concentration of fertilizers that burn the plant roots. You can evenly spread the fertilizer on the soil surface and then gently plow it into the soil to lay a solid foundation for the good development of plants in spring.

• Tool preparation:If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Prepare various gardening tools, such as shovels, hoes, shears, watering cans, etc. Before usage check whether the tools are intact. If damaged, repair or replace them in as soon as you can. At the same time, clean and maintain your tools, such as applying anti-rust oil to metal tools, to extend their service life.

• Selection of flowerpots:Order suitable flowerpots according to the style of the garden and the needs of the plants. Gardens of different styles, such as European classical style, Chinese pastoral style or modern minimalist style, can create a harmonious and unified aesthetic by matching flowerpots. For plants the material, size, and air permeability of the flowerpots are directly related to their growth conditions.

    Choose Greenship flowerpots, which are not only diverse in style and good-looking, but also suitable for all styles of gardens. The flowerpots are available in various sizes for you to choose, so you can choose the appropriately sized flowerpot according to the development of the plant’s root system.

• Learn about plants: Use your free time to read books, magazines or online articles about plants. Knowing the growth habits, cultivation techniques, pest and disease control of different plants can make us more comfortable in garden management.

• Space design:Use your creativity to design a new garden space. You can re-plan the layout of plants to create different functional areas, such as viewing areas, leisure areas, planting areas, etc. You can also add some special elements, such as small water features, sculptures, flower stands, etc. to add a unique charm to the garden.
