Hi, I’m Mitch Baker with American Plant in Bethesda, Maryland and today I will be showing you how to winterize your ornamental garden.
The time you spent in your garden this fall can make a big difference in how well your garden performs next spring. So we’ll cover everything from what to do with all these leaves that are falling to mulching, pruning, fertilizing, watering, transplanting, bringing a new house plant and finally planting for bulbs.
So, some things you’ll need to do all of these chores in the garden include a pair of gloves, a good pair of pruning shears, a composted soil amendment, a low fertility organic fertilizer, and maybe a watering rod.
And some safety issues, keep in mind you’re working with sharp blades so keep your gloves on at all times and if you’re going to be doing pruning working in and around trees and shrubs it might be a good idea to wear some safety glasses as well.
First let me tell you a bit about my self. I’m Maryland Certified Professional Horticulturist with 32 years experience in the Garden Center industry. I served on the Board of the Regional Council Center and I’m an avid gardener. We’ve got a lot of work to do so let’s start winterizing our ornamental garden
