From our director, Jen: “These are just a couple of garden spots in my yard. It’s driving me bonkers not using this time to do all the yard work I never get to do in our busy spring and summer months BUT it’s too early to clean out garden beds. Insects and other beneficial critters are hibernating or egg casings are buried safely in there waiting to hatch at the right time. This is not that time. We can still have heavy frosts and the upcoming weather patterns forecast chilly weather. Resist the urge to clean up the gardens until late April at the earliest, May if you can hold out that long. Your gardens and their keepers (insects) will thank you later!”

Maybe use this time to sketch out with the kids new garden beds or annuals that you could add to your perennial gardens. Research native plants that you should add to your yard and maybe start some seeds too! It’s exciting to watch your baby plants grow, and it’s a task that all kids can help with!
