Season 2 is here! 🌱

Jordan, Katie, and Phil are back to kick off a brand-new season of The Garden Dirt, and we’re digging straight into one of the most common (and confusing) topics in landscaping: pruning. In this episode, we break down when and how to prune trees, shrubs, and perennials so you’re not accidentally cutting off this year’s blooms.

We also get into the five main types of hydrangeas - including paniculata, macropylla, arborescens, oak leaf & mountain - and why knowing exactly which type you have makes all the difference when it comes to pruning and bloom success.

Plus, we share what we’re most excited about heading into this year’s landscaping season and the projects we can’t wait to get started on.
