Keeping a garden clean and well-maintained is essential for its longevity and the enjoyment it brings. 

Organizing Tools 

• Inventory and Storage: Start by taking an inventory of all your garden tools. Use sturdy storage units, like sheds or toolboxes, to keep everything in place. 

• Regular Maintenance: Clean your tools after each use to prevent rust and damage. Sharpen blades and oil moving parts regularly. 

• Accessibility: Position frequently used tools in easily accessible spots. Consider installing hooks or pegboards on shed walls. 

Getting Ready for Garden Cleanup 

• Compost Bins and Bags: Invest in compost bins to collect garden waste. Keep bags on hand for non-compostable debris. 

• Cleaning Supplies: Keep rakes, brooms, and cleaning tools like cloths and all-purpose cleaners ready. 

Cleaning Afterward 

• Pre-Treatment: Pre-treat stains with a stain remover. Soak heavily soiled clothes in warm water mixed with detergent for 30 minutes. 

• Washing: Wash garden clothes separately using heavy-duty detergent and a high-temperature setting. 

• Drying and Storage: Dry clothes thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew. Store in a designated area for the next gardening session. 

Getting a garden ready for the spring requires some organizing and planning. With a little time up front, you can ensure that your garden remains a beautiful and welcoming space. Happy National Garden month!
