Garden Tips
- If you are experiencing snow, it can put a lot of pressure on your plants. Gently remove the snow so it does not break any of the plant.
- Protect shrubs and trees as much as possible against snow and wind with stakes and tree ties for extra support.
- If you have a frozen lawn, stay off it untill it is not frozen to prevent you from compacting the soil and damaging the lawn.
