Winter can be harsh on outdoor plants, but with the right techniques, you can protect them effectively. Start by covering vulnerable plants with burlap or frost cloth to shield them from freezing temperatures.
Add a thick layer of mulch to insulate soil and keep roots from freezing. Bring potted plants indoors or into a greenhouse when possible. Winter is also a good time to prune dormant trees to prepare them for spring growth.
Even though growth slows down, your garden still needs occasional watering. A little attention during winter ensures your plants survive until warmer weather returns.
