North Creek's weekly blog featuring insights on the Landscape Plug™, gardening tips, design ideas, native plants, and garden ecology!
Landscape fabric promises a weed-free garden, but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Over time, it breaks down, tangles with roots, and creates an even bigger mess than before. In our newest blog, we break down why this so-called “weed barrier” is one of the most persistent garden myths, and what to do instead!
Want your garden to shine just as the leaves start to fall? Learn how timing your cutbacks (and choosing the right set of perennials) can push perennials to bloom later in the season — giving pollinators more to forage and landscapes more to admire!
Think the growing season’s over? Not so fast! Fall offers ideal planting conditions — moist soil, mild weather, and way less stress for your plants. See how planting now sets you up for next year’s success!
Some plants ask for attention every day. Others just settle in, thrive, and quietly support pollinators. Looking for plants that thrive with minimal fuss? Guess which ones we’re talking about!
