Looking to refresh your garden this summer?
Here are a few simple tips that can help your garden thrive and support a greener Brampton
• Pay attention to how sunlight moves through your yard before selecting plants. Most vegetables, herbs and fruit-bearing plants require at least six hours of sunlight each day.
• Water your garden regularly, especially in the morning.
• Use mulch around trees and shrubs to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
• Attract pollinators by planting flowers such as Black-Eyed Susans, Salvia, Hyssop and Bergamot.
• Remove spent blooms and prune dead branches to encourage healthy growth.
• Keep garbage and recycling bins stored neatly to the side of your home.
