The Greener Guide: Landscape Resilience During Warmer Winters
Jan 31, 2025 12:00AM ● By Patti Beres
Warmer winters are weaving new patterns across Wisconsin’s landscapes, bringing lighter snowfalls and more frequent freeze-thaw cycles. While this shift poses challenges for lawns and landscapes, it also opens the door to innovative adventures in gardening care techniques.
The dance between freezing and thawing can challenge green expanses, leading to snow mold, bare lawn spots, and weakened roots in the brunt of the cold. Yet, there’s a silver lining! This dynamic weather invites a rethinking of lawn care with a dash of creativity and flexibility.
We can embrace these changes by enhancing lawn and garden defenses with robust mulching techniques, selecting heartier grass and plant varieties, and boosting soil health to combat those quirky weather shifts. These spirited steps fortify landscapes against frosty surprises and prepare them to bounce back beautifully come spring.
Ready to turn winter woes into winter wins? Let’s nurture lawns and landscapes to be as resilient and lively as the Midwestern spirit.
