Once you’ve talked to the experts, here are a few simple tips that you can follow to have your garden be the most beautiful on the block.

1. Start Where You Are
Take a walk around your yard and get a good sense of your current garden beds, shrubs and trees. Make a list of what needs attention, what you’d like to remove, and try to create a rough estimate of how many new plants you’ll need to purchase to fill out the perfect spring garden.

2. Pick Your Plants
While many flowers and vegetables need to be planted later in the spring and once the danger of frost has subsided, there are many great options for woody shrubs and other hearty plants that can go into the ground much within the next couple of weeks.

3. Clean Your Garden
Cut back any existing plants and shrubs, clean out the weeds and till the soil. This is also a great time to add compost and fertilizer to your garden beds to increase soil health.

4. It’s Time to Plant
Now that you’ve made your plan, talked to the experts, picked your plants and cleaned your garden beds, it’s finally time to plant. Before your plants go in the ground make sure to double check that you’ve selected plants and shrubs appropriate for early spring planting.

5. Nurture Your Garden
Once you’ve finished planting, water all plants thoroughly and add an additional layer of fertilizer to give your garden the great start that it deserves!
