Spring Planting Prep & Tips
Plants that naturally grow in the area will grow well and with little hassle; annuals are not generally native and are usually more work. Perennials are less work and do not need to be replanted every year. Now is an ideal time to introduce groundcovers to your lawn, you can walk on them and they are low maintenance.
