Spring in Canterbury is a time of renewed energy and boundless possibility. After months of dormancy, our gardens are ready to burst into life, but they need our expert guidance to reach their full potential.
At Curated Gardens, we've developed a systematic approach to spring preparation that maximizes plant health and garden beauty throughout the growing season. Our methods, refined through years of experience at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and prestigious private estates, ensure your garden doesn't just survive the transition—it thrives.
Essential Spring Tasks
- Soil Assessment: Test pH levels and soil structure to determine nutrient needs
- Strategic Pruning: Remove dead wood and shape plants for optimal growth
- Mulch Application: Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds
- Plant Health Check: Identify and address any pest or disease issues early
The key to successful spring preparation lies in timing. Canterbury's unpredictable spring weather means we must be patient yet decisive, watching for the right moments to begin each task.
