Get Your Garden Grad Party Ready!
Are you stressed about getting your garden ready for a grad party and have no idea where to start? Avoid overspending thousands of dollars while trying to get your garden in shape, when you can instead follow a simple and successful plan with help along every step.
Lynn’s Three-Year Plan
With Lynn’s three-year garden plan, you can have an easy, clear, and tested path that will make your home garden beautiful without the stress of last-minute planting.
Year One: Garden Planning and Planting
The first year focuses on designing and planting. Lynn can help consult with you on how you want your garden to flow, what plants you want to use, and which plants would work best for your home.
This is also a good time to do some shrub trimming and shaping. You can begin your planning process in the winter, so you can begin planting and mulching as soon as spring arrives.
Year Two: Mulching or Top Dressing
The second year is less involved, mostly focusing on mulching or top dressing what you’ve already planted.

Year Three: Trimming and Clean-up
The third year focuses on trimming what’s been planted, cleaning things up, planting some more, and filling in empty areas. Lynn can also help connect you with professionals for any other larger projects, such as stump removal, tree cutting, or lawn mowing.
Fourth Year: Mulch and Top Dress Again
The fourth year begins in the fall by mulching everything right after the leaves fall. Let the snow fall on top and then once it melts, mulch a bit again, and then admire your beautiful garden!
This easy grad party garden plan will take the stress off of figuring out how to get your garden ready for viewing. This plan is designed with ease and convenience in mind; it won’t put too much on your plate before the big day. Don’t wait till the spring of senior year to begin planting. Contact Lynn today and see how she and her team can bring your garden to life!
*Keep in mind the planting season that Lynn suggests begins May 15th (past the final day of frost) and ends November 15th. Although you can begin working in the gardens as soon as March, as long as the weather holds. In that time, you could begin mulching, for instance. Garden cleanups can also begin earlier as long as there is no snow!
