Most people think of gardening in the spring, but autumn is a time to start preparing for next year’s flower garden. The following article will give you a few pointers on how to save money on your flower garden.
Where to Begin
Peonies and other perennials are usually planted in autumn, and many gardeners dig them up and split them at this time. Anyone planning a garden can usually find free perennials if they keep their eyes open to what other gardeners are up to.
Everyone digs up their bulbs in the fall also. Bulbs multiply, and usually gardeners love to share their bounty with others.
Most garden clubs have large shows in the spring and fall where purchases can be made at a reasonable price.
Garden centers usually overstock on perennials, so sometimes you find great deals when they go on sale to make room for new inventory.
Anyone who takes gardening seriously should consider joining a garden club where they will find a wealth of information and free or very inexpensive plants or seeds.
If the Budget is extremely Minimal
You can always collect seeds from even wild flowers and store them in a dry place for spring planting.
When landscaping is being redone, property owners often give away plants. Such annuals as Straw Flowers and Brown Eyed Susans reseed themselves and stay in bloom long after most plants die in the fall. When dried, these flowers make a beautiful arrangement for the long winter ahead.
