JUNE GARDEN TIPS Helpful gardening tips to ensure your garden is looking great this June! Stake Tall or Floppy Plants Perennials in borders are more likely to collapse, especially after heavy rain or strong winds. Staking them early in the season will help avoid disaster. Prune Spring Flowering Shrubs Deciduous shrubs that flower in late winter, spring and early Summer need annual pruning to encourage strong, healthy shoot and improve flowering. Shade Greenhouses Greenhouses, whether of glass or plastic, can overheat in sunny weather. Plants can be protected from excess heat by shading and ventilation.
