URGENT🚨Cut down your Creeping Bellflower ASAP ‼️ URGENT🚨Cut down your Creeping Bellflower ASAP ‼️

Creeping Bellflower is invasive and a gardeners worst enemy 🙅

If you have any blooming Creeping Bellflower, cut it down to the ground ASAP! Or even better, dig it up! 

Don’t let it go to seed, it will spread throughout your yard or even your neighbors yard too. 

American Bellflower (Campanula americana) is great native substitute ✨

Now that it’s warm in Minnesota, here’s how to tid Now that it’s warm in Minnesota, here’s how to tidy up your plants for the summer! ☀️

🌿 Remove dead plant material from the previous season like stems, leaves, and spent blooms
🌿 Take away leaves that are trapped within the plant and around the base to allow for airflow through the plant
🍂 Feel free to leave the leaves in the beds that aren’t tucked in the plants as free mulch and critter habitat!

Insect species rely on these Spring plants. 🐛

If you see these invasive plants dig them up deeply to get their roots or bulbs. For large areas, mow down before plants flower or seed to prevent further spreading.

No need to get out in the cold! Wait until temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit before cleaning up. ☀️

This gives beneficial insects like moths, butterflies, bees, and fireflies time emerge. 🐞

It’s pruning season in Minnesota! ✂️ Your garden It’s pruning season in Minnesota! ✂️ 

Your garden is sleeping, but now (late winter into early spring) is a fantastic time to prune many species of trees and shrubs while they are dormant, reducing the risk of stress and disease and ensuring they stay healthy and beautifully shaped for the seasons to come. 

Do Prune:
Deciduous trees (fruit trees, shade trees like oaks and maples) and shrubs (like dogwood and spirea) are great winter pruning candidates. 

Don’t Prune:
Spring flowering shrubs, evergreens and plants that are damaged or injured. 

Need help?  Our crews are hard at work pruning for clients. We would be happy to help you too. Contact us today for a winter pruning quote.

Fall Clean-ups are in full swing! We have been en Fall Clean-ups are in full swing!

We have been enjoying the Fall weather and colors while prepping gardens for Winter!❄️ 

What we do to prep your garden:
🍂 Cut back perennials like hostas and diseased foliage 
🍂 Rake excess leaves into garden beds to insulate plants 

Native gardens typically need minimal maintenance. Most Fall tasks are helpful but not essential.
