Spring is the time when everything comes to life, and the garden needs special attention to delight with its appearance throughout the season.

What do we prune in the garden in March?
In March, we prune fruit trees such as apple and pear trees, removing diseased, damaged, and crossing branches. We shorten the shoots of vines and currants, and rejuvenate raspberries by cutting out old canes. We prune roses, removing dry and frozen parts, and shape coniferous hedges. This is an excellent time to cut panicle hydrangeas and other ornamental shrubs to stimulate their growth and flowering.
Remember that green waste, such as mown grass, branches, or leaves, should be properly disposed of. According to current regulations, they cannot be burned – such actions not only violate the law but also harm the environment by emitting harmful substances into the atmosphere. You can also hand over green waste to local biodegradable waste collection points.
