 Greetings!
It's early October and we've already had a few days worth of snow! I didn't know white was a fall color. Looks like we bypassed the oranges, reds and yellows and jumped right into winter. Although another season is around the corner, don't give up your gardening just yet. Call HLG today to:
- Install tulips, shrubs and trees
- Create new garden spaces
- Prepare garden soils and veggie plots
- Perform fall clean up.
Fall is for gardening even if there was frost on your pumpkins!
It's always easier to think about winter decorations when we look out our window and see snow on the ground. Mid-October is not too soon to start planning your winter/holiday decorations. Enjoy the winter season with services from HLG such as:
- Lighting - standard or specialty lights (LED) to deck your trees, shrubs, spruce tip arrangements and the outside of your home
- Timers - set for dawn and dusk
- Custom Spruce Tip Containers - includes fresh greens, twigs, dried floral and lights (optional)
- Wreaths & Garland - match your containers!
- Ice Lanterns - add a warm glow to your winter wonderland
- Indoor decor

Winter Preparations
Tending
to your plants, raking your lawns and putting away the garden tools are many
ways to prepare for winter. We've been busy this past week cleaning
gardens, pulling out annuals and cutting down perennials.
It's best to  remove the perennials which bear no
winter interest or are more prone to get fungal diseases, such as peony, Iris,
Monarda, roses and phlox. Perennials that are typically left up for winter
interest include, Astible, Rudbeckia, Echinacea, Sedums and various grasses.
Another important item to take care of before the deep
freeze sets in is storing your breakable pots. Often when the soil is
left in the pots and kept outside over the winter, moisture accumulates in the
soil and then goes through the freeze/thaw cycle which frequently causes your
ceramic pots to crack. The best way to protect your breakable pots is to empty
out the soil and store them inside a garage or shed. If you would like the pots to be filled with
winter decorations, you can remove the soil and put in a "liner" pot (usually
plastic) which helps reduce the possibility of the pots cracking.
Hoses are another important garden tool. Once
you've decided it's time to shut off the outside water, it is also a good time
to prepare your hoses. They should be drained of standing water and properly
stored out of the elements.
