SPRING GARDENING TIPS

From Head Gardener, Marjorie Currey

March marks the beginning of tree and shrub planting season.  As the plants fill out their new growth, fertilizing  can be started on both recent and older plantings. Roses can be pruned in March if they were not done in February. Hedges can be sheared now if they are overgrown from last year. Now is also a good time for a first lawn feeding, as well the application of some horticultural lime.
