🪷 It’s water lily season! 🪷

As the weather warms up, our water lilies burst into growth. But with new growth also comes older leaves reaching the end of their life cycle.

If you’re noticing yellowing, browning, or black leaves on your lilies, don’t worry — this is completely natural. These older leaves have finished growing and can be cut back to help keep your pond looking tidy and healthy.

In this reel, I’ll show you why it’s important to remove dead foliage and the best way to do it without disturbing your plant.

Have you started seeing new lily growth in your pond yet? Let me know in the comments! 🌿✨

🍄 Check out these Fun-guys! 🍄

With all the recent rain and warmer temperatures, some unexpected visitors have popped up around the pond borders! Mushrooms are nature’s little recyclers, helping to break down organic matter and keep the ecosystem ticking along behind the scenes.

They may only be here for a short time, but they add a touch of woodland magic to the pond edge. ✨

Have you noticed mushrooms appearing in your garden lately?

Pondering what to do in your garden this weekend? 🌿

It’s time to deadhead those geums! ✂️

These beautiful dusky pink flowers are brilliant for attracting pollinators, and their leafy growth can also provide cool, damp shelter for wildlife such as frogs. 🐸

The best part? If you remove the spent flowers after their first flush in late spring, you’ll often be rewarded with a second round of blooms right through summer. 🌸

Here’s a step-by-step guide to deadheading your geums and encouraging that second flush of flowers.

Have you tried this in your garden yet?
