Summer barbecues are coming to an end. The barbecues have been stored and cleaned. I’ve packed up the insect repellent and sunscreen. and the spirit of returning to school is in the air. There are moments when it seems like summer will never end. then it quickly comes to an end, and before we know it, winter is halfway here! I am already contemplating plants for autumn and winter, organizing my winter container garden, and thinking about some winter plants for my yard as the colder months of the year get nearer. Continue reading if you are a motivated individual who is prepared to begin organizing your winter garden in advance. choose your themes. the first thing I usually do when the seasons change? theming. This one is simple. I go around my gardens and pull out everything from previous tiny garden themes, such my back-to-school signs, small spring accessories, and Fourth of July decorations. When I go back inside, I rearrange my Christmas fairy dwellings and festive decorations. Some gardeners like creating winter wonderland snow gardens, ice skating rinks, new year’s gardens, and other imaginative settings in addition to Thanksgiving and Christmas themes. Regardless of the weather, artificial snow, cotton snow, snowflake picks, and even a little amount of white glitter may help give your garden the appearance of a shattered snow globe. Select the containers that you want. While some of my winter plants will stay outside during the chilly months, I do like designing container gardens that will bring some seasonal cheer and warmth within. I’ve seen flower pots decked up in imitation snow and glitter, square flower boxes wrapped like Christmas gifts, and beautiful metal baskets bound with festive ribbon. Winter container gardens may be made in a million different ways for the mantel, workstation, dining table, and other areas of the home. To get ideas for a winter container garden, consider exploring online. You may weatherize container gardens for outdoor usage over the winter. Apply a layer of spray paint on metal containers and basket planters. By doing this, the metal will be kept from rusting. Pot sealant may be sprayed on clay pots. As you get ready to winterize your fairy garden, think about the different plants you have in your yard and in containers. Winter dormancy is necessary for small trees, shrubs, and perennials. Move them onto a porch or garage that isn’t heated and has a temperature range of 32 to 50 degrees. They must not thaw or freeze. Succulents may be kept inside during the winter in warm, sunny rooms (at least 50 degrees). Think about your growth zone while choosing other outdoor winter plants. Some could be hardy enough to withstand the winter in your area. (Congratulations if your fairy garden has fake plants! They may be left outside. To ensure that your small decorations and fake plants don’t blow away during winter storms, consider using some fast-acting adhesive.) Ajuga, or bugleweed, is one of my favorite wintertime plants. These evergreen perennials provide vibrant foliage all year round and are resistant to deer. They will bloom in the summer, even though they are not winter blooming plants. Bugleweed will become dormant in colder climes over the winter. Winter container gardens may see a flourishing display of sedums and stonecrops. These are evergreen succulents that have succulent leaves, vibrant hues, and an abundance of beauty. Sedums are a winter gardener’s dream come true since they are low to the ground, resilient, and spreading. And there you have it! Remember that the summer light will return as you get ready for winter container gardening and choose plants for autumn and winter. We won’t be back in the hot, muggy little garden for long, so take advantage of the beautiful, fluffy snow and crisp weather while you can.
