Skip Pruning Until Spring
Skip heavy fall cleanup and let nature do the work: delay pruning until mid-winter, water deeply before the ground freezes, and add simple habitat features like brush piles or a shallow water dish. Prepared in November 2025 for Colorado’s Front Range gardens, this practical checklist helps you save time, reduce spring chores, and wake up to a healthier, buzzing yard in spring. Download it free from Blue Spruce Horticulture and start your low-effort, high-impact winter prep today!
Winter Garden Checklist
Get your yard winter-ready with Blue Spruce’s Winter Garden Prep Checklist to protect native bees, butterflies, and birds by planting bulbs, sowing native seeds, leaving leaves, and keeping seed heads standing for food and shelter all season long. Winter is one of the most overlooked seasons in the garden, but the choices you make in fall directly shape how much wildlife your yard can support.
