During the fall and winter, many plants are preparing for the colder months ahead. Although they may not be actively growing, there is still plenty to do in the garden. Some vegetables thrive during the winter season, making it an ideal time to plant new trees and bushes. Additionally, this is the perfect opportunity to tidy up and prepare for spring when most plants will start to blossom. You can also take advantage of the cooler weather to take on new landscaping and hardscaping projects, such as building new paths, patios, or rock gardens.
