The Essential End-of-Season Checklist

Prepare your garden for winter and set the stage for a healthy, thriving spring. As the growing season winds down, your garden deserves a little TLC before the frost sets in. Taking time now to clean up, cut back, and protect plants and equipment will make a big difference come spring.

What (and What Not) to Cut Back in Fall

As autumn settles in, many gardeners feel the urge to tidy up their landscapes before winter. While fall can be a great time for pruning, not every plant benefits from a trim this season. Knowing what to cut—and what to leave alone—helps your garden stay healthy and ready to thrive next spring.

Protecting Plants from Frost

When the seasons shift and chilly nights start to arrive, it doesn’t take much frost to cause trouble in the garden. A thin layer of ice can damage tender plants, stress perennials, and undo weeks of growth. But with a little preparation — and some simple tools — you can keep your plants safe and thriving even when temperatures dip.

Deck the Halls, Porch, and Planters

When the garden beds go quiet, your porch and entryway planters can still burst with seasonal beauty. With a mix of fresh evergreens, colorful berries, and natural accents, you can design holiday containers that stay vibrant through winter’s chill—and welcome guests with festive charm.

Decorating with Greens and Garlands

There’s something special about bringing the beauty of nature inside during the holidays. At Flower Power Farms, we love using fresh, locally-sourced greens and natural accents to fill your home with the sights and scents of the season.

Native Plants to Support Local Wildlife

At Flower Power Farms, spring is more than just a time to plant — it’s a time to support the incredible ecosystem that makes our gardens vibrant and alive. One of the most meaningful ways you can do this is by planting native species that provide critical early season habitat for insects, birds, and even amphibians.

Bee Houses: Every Garden Needs One

Bees are more than just honey-makers — they’re essential pollinators that keep our gardens, crops, and ecosystems thriving. While honeybees get a lot of the spotlight, solitary bees like mason bees and leafcutter bees are actually more efficient pollinators and just as vital to your garden’s success. One of the easiest ways to support these beneficial insects? Add a bee house to your garden.
