Think About Our Pollinators This Year!
Pollinator gardens can be a great way to get young and old alike outside. There are a variety of pollinators that frequent our area. The easiest plants to incorporate into a pollinator garden are native plants. Once established, native plants require very minimal care. Wildflowers are also a great addition with the benefit of reseeding the following year. What ever your pollinating plans are, we can help!
Fruit Tree Maintenance
- Pruning (when tree is dormant & ALWAYS disinfect pruning tools, especially if you know you are cutting diseased branches)
- Dormant Spray (before bud break)
- Replenish Nutrients with Compost (early spring before bud break)
- Ensure Tree is Receiving Enough Water
- Fertilize (preferably early spring before bud break & again in July)
