Evergreens are the quiet stars of the garden. While many plants go to sleep in winter, evergreens stay green, strong, and full of life. They add color to your yard when everything else looks bare, and they’re perfect for holiday decorating.In this post, we’ll keep things simple. First, we’ll look at what evergreens are and how to care for them. Then we’ll walk through an easy way to make a holiday wreath using fresh clippings from your yard or local market.

If you’re anything like us, the holidays don’t really feel complete until there are a few festive plants tucked around the house. A bright poinsettia by the doorway, an amaryllis getting ready to bloom on the table, maybe a Christmas cactus or two in the window—those little pops of color make everything feel cozy.

Cold nights happen fast in fall. One surprise frost can bite leaves, turn flowers mushy, and set your garden back. Good news: with a few quick steps and simple supplies, you can get through that first cold snap with almost no damage.

Got piles of leaves? Don’t throw them away—use them. Leaf mulch is free, simple, and great for your soil. In this guide, we’ll show easy ways to turn fall leaves into garden gold with very little effort.

As the seasons shift, fall is the perfect time to prepare your garden for a fresh burst of color in the spring. Bulb planting and bed cleanup go hand in hand: by tucking away bulbs now and tidying your garden beds, you’ll set the stage for healthy growth and a beautiful display when warmer days return.

If your garden is full of perennials that are getting a little crowded or not blooming like they used to, it might be time to give them a little breathing room. Dividing perennials is a simple way to keep plants healthy, encourage more blooms, and expand your garden—without spending a dime on new plants!

🌿It's hard to believe summer is winding down — but now is the perfect time to give your garden a little love before the next season rolls in.

Welcome to the garden, friend! We’re Kevan and Bobby, two retired guys who traded work shoes for gardening gloves and haven’t looked back since. Out here in the South Carolina countryside, our days revolve around sunshine, soil, and the quiet joy that comes with watching things grow — whether it's heirloom tomatoes, flowers, or stubborn bamboo that thinks it owns the place.
