Spring Garden Tips
Natural Stakes

 

Create natural and free stakes from landscape trimmings. Save long sturdy stems and branches generated from routine tree and shrub pruning.  Use these to prop floppy perennials.  Place one end in the ground and work it through the perennial providing needed support while camouflaging the natural stake.  With a little practice you can keep your plants standing tall without the ugly stiff look of other staking methods.
