Around late February things start kicking into high gear in Cooperative Extension’s Pollinator Paradise Demonstration Garden. Usually I have taken most of January off in the garden. I start back with some weeding in February, maybe some removal of “spready” plants. But by late February I can feel that spring is coming and it’s time to get serious about spring chores so I mobilize my volunteers and we start getting the garden ready for the season. March and April are very busy months in the garden!

I wrote an article that discusses in detail all the tasks we tackle in the spring in the pollinator garden:
