Spring is the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and get to work in the yard. With longer days and rising temperatures, plants surge into life. As a former horticulturist, I always relish this seasonal shift, watching leaves unfurl and bulbs bloom after months of cold and dark winter weather.
Dusting off your tools and giving your garden a much-needed tidy is not just satisfying, however, it is essential for plant health. Yet while you might be anxious to get chopping, not everything in your yard should be pruned at this time of year. Knowing what to trim and what not to prune in spring is crucial. After all, you wouldn’t want to accidentally snip a lilac or forsythia just before its show-stopping display, would you?
