March is still a time for planning your gardens. It is also the best time to get an early jump on cleaning up your planting beds, when weather permits.

• Remove excess mulch from planting beds and replace with new mulch.
• You can begin to plant any woody plant material when the weather allows.
• Transplant any plant material you would like to move in your garden while they are still dormant.
• Prune and remove any dead or diseased branches
• Cut back ornamental grasses.
• Prune summer and fall flowering trees and shrubs.
• Wait to prune early flowering trees and shrubs until after they bloom.
• Begin to fertilize woody and evergreen shrubs if they were not fall fertilized.
• Contact a Certified Nursery and Landscape professional to find out how to properly mulch your Plants. Improper mulching can harm your plants.
