Fall is the time to clean your pond!

  1. Clean the filter by pulling the material out and washing it off with a hose
  2. Put fish in a holding tank by draining the pond so they have nowhere to run. Cover the tank to prevent the fish from jumping out
  3. Completely drain the pond
  4. Make sure the pump is off
  5. Remove the plants from the bottom of the pond. Transfer water lilies or others that wilt easily into a temporary holding tank
  6. Pressure clean the rocks
  7. Vacuum out the muck with a wet-vac, if you have one
  8. Clean up the plants
  9. Refill the pond
  10. Clear out the baskets
  11. Replace the fish
  12. Turn the system back on

Our new blogger!

This is the first test of our new blogger! It starts to slow down in the wintertime and people forget that we do not close during the winter! If you have any problems with your pond or landscape, or want to get a jump start on the business of spring, please call us today!

We'd also like to post information to our guests via this blog. Let us know what topics you'd like us to answer for you by emailing us at info@bardensgardens.com

Thank you for checking us out!

Flowers for Fall and Winter!

We are currently showcasing the fact that your yard can look beautiful even in the fall and winter! Pansies come in many beautiful colors and are hearty in the winter months! They will fade during a freeze, and then pop back in the early spring! If you don't have time to plant them yourself, we can plant them for you. Please call us with any other questions you have about planting in the fall and winter at 541.995.9457
