A Southern Gardener

Boxwood moths have shown up here in Grosse Pointe, and they can do real damage if you don’t catch them early. 👀 If you see webbing or those little green caterpillars, don’t wait — act fast! We recommend Marshall Landscape — they’re the best around for boxwood moth treatment and prevention. A quick call now can save your shrubs later! 🌿💚 #BoxwoodMoth #BoxwoodCare #GrossePointeGardens #MichiganGardener #GardenTips #PestControl #ASouthernGardener #LandscapeCare #BoxwoodLove #gardenmaintenance

This is autumn in Grosse Pointe. 🍂 Frank Sinatra playing, gingko trees turning from green to yellow, sugar maples glowing from orange to red… the sun shining and the sky a brilliant blue. Pure magic. ✨ #ASouthernGardener #GrossePointe #AutumnVibes #FallColor #michiganfall

It’s pruning time! ✂️ Mil’s talking all things hydrangeas — specifically these beautiful Incrediballs, which can be pruned in the fall or early spring. 🌿 But not all hydrangeas are created equal! 💚 Macrophylla (Bigleaf) — prune right after they bloom in summer, since they set buds on old wood. 🤍 Oakleaf — prune in midsummer, just after flowering. 💚 Incrediball (Smooth hydrangea) — prune late fall or early spring; they bloom on new wood. A little timing makes all the difference in next season’s blooms! 🌸 #ASouthernGardener #Hydrangeas #PruningTips #GardenCare
