As the crisp air settles in and the days grow shorter, winter inevitably approaches, bringing with it a unique set of challenges for anyone in the horticulture industry. For wholesale growers, retail nurseries, and even landscapers, the winter months can be both a challenge and an opportunity. While the season may strip our gardens of their vibrant colours and lively blooms, it doesn’t have to mean the end for our plants. With the right winter protection, we can ensure that our crops survive the cold and emerge ready to flourish when spring arrives.

But with so many winter protection options on the market—like frost cloth, burlap, row covers, and plant jackets—how do you know what’s best for your specific needs? Whether you’re looking to protect delicate young trees, a row of perennial flowers, or an entire greenhouse, choosing the right covers is crucial. The stakes are high; a poor choice could lead to frost damage, loss of inventory, and ultimately,

Winter is on the horizon, and for those of us in the horticulture world, that means one thing: it's time to gear up to protect our plants from the cold. Whether you're a wholesale grower, managing vast fields of crops, or a retail nursery offering customers a lush selection of plants year-round, winter brings unique challenges. For landscapers, greenhouse managers, and even urban gardeners, finding the right winter protection is key to keeping plants healthy and your business thriving.

But with so many options out there—frost cloth, burlap, row covers, plant jackets—how do you choose the right one? Let’s break it down, step by step, so you can make informed decisions that not only protect your plants but also save you time, money, and stress.

In horticulture, the early protection of young trees is essential for long-term success. Just like how seedlings need nurturing to take root, young trees need safeguarding to withstand the challenges they’ll face in their early stages of growth. That’s where tree guards come in. They play an essential role in protecting trees from various threats, giving them the best chance to establish themselves and thrive.

In this blog, we’ll explore why tree guards matter, dive into the different types available, and offer expert tips on how to use them effectively. Whether you’re a landscaper, nursery owner, or grounds manager, this guide will help you make informed decisions and protect your trees for the long haul.

If you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, you’ve likely heard a lot about it. But here’s the catch—using fertiliser is not a one-size-fits-all process. Plants have unique nutrient needs at different growth stages, and understanding when and what to feed them can make a world of difference.
