It's National Gardening Month

by Jennifer Smith April 02, 2018

April showers brings May flowers; and that's why April is National Gardening Month, a time for gardeners to get outside and start planting spring flowers.

There are many plants to sow and grow in April including:

Carrots
Cauliflower
Lettuce
Peas
Onions
Spinach
Basil
and much more!

DeerbustersCanada encourages gardeners across Canada to get involved in gardening events this April. Join a garden club and meet local gardeners or work in a community garden.

Because April is the best month for spring gardening, home growers should consider installing a 7.5-8' foot high deer fence around flowerbeds to keep deer away from plants. The above list of plants are liked by deer, rabbits and other small critters; and that is why planting deer-resistant flowers is best as a secondary barrier. Plants for deer resistance include: daffodils, marigolds, sage, aster and peonies.
