As the first signs of spring begin to make themselves known, it’s time to prepare both your home and garden for the season ahead. This year, take the opportunity to breathe fresh life into your home and outdoor spaces with our best tips on preparing for spring this year.
A breath of fresh air
As the weather warms, it’s time to open the windows wide and allow fresh air to filter through your rooms. This not only helps to reduce any lingering stale winter air but also prevents moisture build-up, which can lead to mildew and dampness. Proper air ventilation is key to maintaining a healthy, comfortable home.
Prepare Your Garden’s Soil
After months of winter rest, your garden is eager for some tender loving care. Soil preparation is an important part of making sure your garden flourishes throughout the spring and summer. You can start by removing any weeds that may have sprouted and enriching and improving the structure of your soil with compost or organic matter. This helps to get your soil ready to provide your plants with the best start possible; for a blooming lovely spring and summer ahead.
Pruning and Planting
The two Ps of pruning and planting go hand-in-hand, and these essential garden tasks need care and attention. Pruning is not only about maintaining the beauty of your plants, but it also encourages healthy new growth. Remember to remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches from your trees and shrubs, as well as cutting back overgrown stems from perennials to new buds. This will help create space and energy for fresh and vibrant growth.
Welcome Guests with a New Outdoor Doormat
After a day of planting, weeding, or enjoying a spring walk, it’s all too easy to bring muddy boots and soil indoors. Leave your garden’s mess at the door with an outdoor mat from our Cape Cod Collection.
Made from hand-woven twisted polypropylene cord, Cape Cod mats feature ridged textures that trap dirt and debris. Designed to withstand the elements, they are the perfect partner for spring gardening, ensuring that the clods of mud and soil you’ve been working with outside doesn’t make its way into your home.
