Winter can be harsh on plants, but with proper preparation, you can protect your garden and ensure it bounces back
beautifully in spring. At Marina Inc., we have everything you need to get your garden winter-ready. Follow these steps for a
well-protected garden.
1. **Mulch Your Plants**
Adding a layer of mulch around your plants acts as insulation, keeping soil temperatures consistent and protecting roots from
freezing. Mulch is especially beneficial for perennials and young trees. Use a thick layer of organic mulch, which decomposes
slowly and provides added nutrients to the soil.
2. **Prune Dead or Diseased Branches**
Winter is an ideal time for pruning as many plants enter dormancy. Pruning dead or diseased branches prevents the spread of
infection and encourages healthy growth in spring. Use our high-quality pruning shears, which make clean cuts without damaging
the plant.
3. **Cover Vulnerable Plants**
Plants that are susceptible to frost damage, such as roses, benefit from an extra layer of protection. Frost blankets or burlap
wraps can shield these plants from extreme cold, while allowing air and moisture to reach them. Anchor the covers properly to
prevent them from blowing away.
4. **Clean and Store Tools**
A successful garden starts with good maintenance. Clean, sharpen, and oil your gardening tools to keep them in top shape for
next season. Store them in a dry area to prevent rust. Our tool maintenance kits include all the essentials, so your tools are
ready for spring.
Preparing your garden for winter ensures a healthy start in the new year. Visit Marina Inc. for all your winter gardening needs.
