Begin a gardening guide by sketching out your beds and borders, noting the shape of each area and the flow of your garden. As you draw, label every plant, shrub, tree, and feature, including bulbs, perennials, and seasonal containers. Over time, these pages become an invaluable reference: you can flip through your sketches to quickly identify plants, track their locations, and see how your garden evolves from year to year. This simple habit builds a personalized map of your space, making planning, troubleshooting, and redesigning far easier.
Contact Erin Garden Club for personalized journals.

Shut off outdoor faucets and disconnect all hoses before freezing temperatures arrive. Drain each hose fully, coil it loosely, and store it in a dry spot to prevent cracking. Turn off the exterior water supply, open the faucet to release any remaining pressure. This simple step prevents burst pipes, preserves your hose fittings, and keeps your outdoor water system ready for spring.

Clean and store summer‑flowering bulbs such as dahlias, cannas, and gladiolus once their foliage has been blackened by frost. Lift them carefully to avoid bruising, shake off excess soil, and allow each type to dry thoroughly—dahlias for a few days, gladiolus corms for several weeks, and canna rhizomes just until surface‑dry. Once cured, pack them in peat moss, vermiculite, or sawdust so they stay dry and separated. Label everything clearly and keep them in a cool, dark, above‑freezing spot until spring.

Mark the spots where your perennials and bulbs are planted if you haven’t already—add sturdy stakes with the plant names so everything is clearly identified. It makes spring cleanup easier, helps you remember what’s where, and ensures nothing gets disturbed when you’re digging or dividing later in the season.
Try the Golf Tee Plant Markers. You will need golf tees, outdoor Gorilla glue and glass stones (Dollar Store or Michaels). Use Gorilla glue that is waterproof for outisde. Simply glue and let dry.
Place the tees next to perennials and bulbs.

Here are a few tips when planting bulbs:

-A larger grouping of flower bulbs are far more fab than just a few planted here and there.
-For a natural look throw out handfuls of bulbs and plant them where they fall.
-Plant low-growing bulb varieties up front and taller ones at the back of your beds.
-Layering bulbs means planting different types at varying depths so they bloom in sequence. Place the largest, deepest‑planting bulbs at the bottom of the hole, cover with soil, then add mid‑season bulbs, cover again, and finish with the smallest, shallow‑planting bulbs on top. This creates a stacked, multi‑season display from one planting spot.
-Note the flowering times. Not all tulips, for instance, will bloom at the same time. A little planning will greatly increase the number of months you will enjoy bulb flowers.
-When your leaves drop in fall, rake a layer of them over newly-planted bulbs. They'll love the extra bedding!

A proper fall clean‑up focuses on removing diseased plants, pulling spent annuals, weeding thoroughly, and adding mulch, while intentionally leaving healthy perennials, seedheads, and pockets of leaf litter in flower beds to support overwintering wildlife. This selective approach strengthens spring growth, reduces pest pressure, and preserves essential habitat for birds and pollinators.
