Gardening Mistakes You Should Avoid Making

Create gardens that attract pollinators by providing habitats that make them feel welcome and safe.

Discouraging Pollinators

Regularly inspect your plants for pests. Check the leaves and address any infestations immediately.

Ignoring Pests

Tender crops like tomatoes and peppers should remain protected if temperatures drop below freezing.

Planting Too Early

Invasive species choke out native plants, disrupt the local ecosystem, and can be nearly impossible to control once they establish themselves.

Letting Invasive Plants Take Over

Native plants are adapted to your local climate, making them easier to care for and more resistant to pests and disease.

Overlooking Native Plants

If your garden area lacks sufficient sunlight, consider container gardening.
