It can tolerate soil that stays wet in the winter. With year-round vegetation, this garden helps the environment by slowing storm flows, allowing water to percolate on-site, and cleaning water that runs off roofs and paved areas. <br></p></div> | | https://growgreenguide.ca/designs/PlansPic/_w/SummerMeadowThumb_jpg.jpg, https://growgreenguide.ca/plans/PlansPic/_w/SummerMeadowThumb_jpg.jpg | 14 | <div class="ExternalClassBF36F4C619EF46929BDA1EDC6B1017AD"><p>To properly maintain your garden, and for best results: </p><ul><li>Prepare the garden bed with a good quality soil. There should be a minimum soil depths of 30 cm for perennials, 45 cm for shrubs and 60 cm for trees. </li><li>Every spring, apply 5 cm of well-rotted compost or manure annually in the spring (try not to pile it up around woody stems).</li><li>Remove weeds as required, and inspect for pests and disease every week or two in the spring and summer. </li><li>Ensure plants receive a minimum of 5 cm of water weekly during the spring and summer. </li><li>Remove and compost ‘spent’ blooms and leaves in the fall. </li><li>Prune only to remove misplaced or damaged stems as needed during the summer. The plants suggested here should not require pruning to reduce size. </li></ul>
