Summary: For the avid gardener, winter can be a tough time. Some may think that the slow decaying of their plants symbolically resembles the inevitability of death. Heavy stuff, but this is a rather unhealthy way to look at winter's effects. Instead, gardeners should look at winter as the much-awaited plant's siesta. Like any good childcare provider knows, everyone needs a nap once in a while. The best thing that a gardener can do for their sleepy plants is to prepare them for their nap time. There are several ways that you can prepare your plants for winter. In fact, winter is one of the best times to do some rearranging in the garden, as well. Transplanting your perennial plants will do wonders for your garden, and it will be less harsh on your plants.

In this free video series, learn how to prepare your garden for winter. Our experts will show you everything you need to know about winter garden care. Learn how to fertilize your lawn for cold weather, as well as how to prepare your faucets for winter. They even show you how to transplant and prune perennials. So, take some time and learn how to give your garden a great rest!
