Most gardeners stock up on mulch during dry summer months because it acts as a heat barrier and helps maintain the moisture level in soil and around plants. But did you know that mulch continues to nurture your garden during winter?

Incorporate some of the following plants into your front or back yard, and your garden will remain bright and colourful well into October.

Less Mess has collected a few common gardening myths, and we’d like to debunk them so no one makes these mistakes during the next gardening season.

August is the perfect time to start cleaning up and prepping for fall and for the following spring. To help you get started with this maintenance work, we’ve come up with a list of simple steps.
