Mother's Day: Five Ways To Help Mom In The Garden

Even if your mom is an avid gardener there are no doubt particular jobs she doesn't look forward to.

Even if your mom is an avid gardener there are no doubt particular jobs she doesn’t look forward to — with Mother’s Day around the corner, Frank Ferragine brings us his suggestions on how to help Mom in the garden.

Five Ways To Help Mom In The Garden

1. Make her ‘garden of weeding’ a ‘Garden of Eden’: Remove weeds from the lawn and garden.

2. Build her a good base to work with by amending the
soil in the garden and making sure it’s ready for planting.

3. Be her ‘Garden Tamer’:  Prune
existing shrubs.

4. Divide and conquer the perennial
garden! Divide your perennials.

5. Plant for tomorrow: Frankie’s favourite flowering shrub to give to mom is the Miss Kim Dwarf Flowering Lilac.
