It's almost time for

pumpkin spice season
sweater weather
Football Sundays
almost Ski season (IYKTYK)*

not exactly

It is time to get the GBT team into your gardens for a late summer clean-up
to make the Fall Clean-up of all gardens that much easier.

As I say each time I meet with a new client: the more your garden is maintained the healthier it will stay. Consistent Care
If it is ignored, that's when you will lose your investment.

Kind of like when your tennis coach/ski guide/yoga teacher
speaks
"if you don't move it, you will lose it." Gardens are alive just like us.


Either get out there and dig the grass out of your garden beds (it is a great workout I promise) or just call us and we will get your gardens on our schedule.


This season has been brutal on us
and our investment in our landscapes.

Even mine.

please give them the care they need to thrive in these tough conditions.

next message will be about Spring Blooming bulbs and Fall Containers

take care of your gardens and yourselves,

tess

Discover how we’re adapting our garden visits to handle watering restrictions and learn more about our effective treatment for Japanese beetles. Let’s keep your garden beautiful and thriving this season!

We want to remind everyone to treat your turf for Japanese Beetles. Our favorite is GrubGone. This product is pet and bee safe and specifically designed to eliminate grubs before they hatch into those pesky beetles. If you’re not using our services, please consult your lawn care provider about the best treatment options, as beetle traps found in stores aren’t effective in killing grubs.
