Be Ready for Spring! Here's How!

1. Make a plan of your garden layout. Decide if you want to keep everything where it is currently located or does it need to move to another location.
2. Think about what new plants you would like to add. Come in and talk to someone if you're not sure what plants would be good for that particular area. We'd be happy to help!
3. Get your tools sharpened and ready for another years use. We've partnered with www.kysharp.com for all your sharpening needs. Buy new tools if necessary.
4. Purchase new potting soil for all your planters. Dispose of your old potting soil in your compost pile or vegetable garden.
5. Trim back any dead or broken branches on shrubs and trees.

Or if this sounds like too much work for you, give Showplace a call and let us do the hard stuff.
