Spring Trimdowns: A Fresh Start For Your Garden Workshop
Get your garden ready for its best Spring show yet with our Spring Trimdowns Workshop! Get access to this recorded live workshop, where we’ll guide you through a process that helps your bulbs shine in their full glory while fostering a healthier, more sustainable garden environment.
In this workshop, we’ll focus on cutting back perennials surrounding the bulbs you planted last fall, making way for them to bloom beautifully. While we trim, we’ll show you how to keep your garden tidy and cared for by chopping and dropping, leaving the plant debris on-site to act as nutrient-rich mulch.
But this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about building a deeper connection to the land. Learn how to mimic nature’s trimdowns, from fire and bison to other plant-eating mammals, all while ensuring your garden remains in harmony with the local ecosystem. This restorative practice builds soil health and strengthens our relationship to nature as stewards of the land.
Workshop Highlights:
- Practical Techniques: Learn how to properly trim perennials, taking care to preserve your spring bulbs and any pollinator habitats.
- Chop and Drop: Mimic natural processes by leaving your plant debris in place to mulch and decompose, supporting the soil and fostering sustainability.
- Pollinator Protection: Discover how to care for plants that are vital for native bees and other pollinators, preserving their nesting sites.
- Step-by-Step Guidance: From flags to tools and final cleanup, we’ll show you the best practices for trimming, taking photos, and keeping your tools in top shape for the next season.
This workshop is perfect for homeowners, garden enthusiasts, volunteer groups and team leaders who want to dive deep into sustainable practices while getting their garden in tip-top shape for Spring. Whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned pro, you’ll leave with new insights on how to care for your landscape while keeping it beautiful and eco-friendly.
