Petal gardening center shares tips to make fall gardens thrive – WDAM

PETAL, Miss. (WDAM) – Planting and gardening are two hobbies enjoyed by many people across the south.

Gardeners must take extra precautions in the Pine Belt as they move into new seasons.

Michael Garner, an employee at Adams’ Nursery & Garden Center in Petal, had plenty of advice to share on how to keep the garden thriving as summer turns to drop.

“We are usually transitioning from summer into fall very shortly, and people may not know it, but fall is the best time to plant your trees and shrubs, ” said Garner. “The reason being, you plant this time of year, the particular root system will continue to grow, plus you’ll have the plants ready to go in the spring, and they’ll start growing. ”

Garner said now is the perfect time to start gardening, and indoor plants are always in season.

Whether you prefer planting succulents, trees, mums or pears, Garner stated to be sure to get suitable safety measures to keep your plants healthy.
