Sprucing Up For the Holidays

Yes, it's that time of year when folks start having family get-togethers and holiday parties. Now would be a good time to look around the yard and determine what needs sprucing up. You don't have to spend a lot of money to make your yard sparkle. Some people that can afford it will do a total tear out of their flower beds, and replenish them with fresh annuals but it doesn't have to be that way.
Freshen up your plants and trees by trimming out all of the dead foliage, branches or fronds. Remove any plant debris from your plant beds (this also helps to discourage fungus). Spreading fresh mulch around your plants can make a landscape come alive again. Pick up a couple of potted plants to set beside your front door to give the house a festive look without going overboard. Happy planting!
