Prepare your garden for freezing temperatures in a few simple steps to ensure it’s healthy come spring. Start by taking particular care of the soil in your garden to protect the trees and shrubs and eliminate weeds to avoid depositing seeds in the soil that could regenerate in spring.

If you compost, invest in a well-insulated bin to aid the decomposition process during the colder months. You should also turn off any sprinkler systems or other watering systems you use to prevent damage in the event of freezing temperatures. It might also be a good idea to pay attention to the wildlife in your area. Providing fresh water for wildlife is especially important during months when temperatures drop below freezing.

Here are 10 products that will help you prepare your garden for winter:
