Spring Garden Care: Physical Prep and Seasonal Tasks

Gardening in spring involves physically demanding work comparable to a sports session. Experts note that activities such as digging, pruning and moving soil can burn 300‑450 kcal per hour, engaging the same muscle groups used in weight training. To avoid injuries like back strain, a short warm‑up, proper hydration and a light meal before starting are recommended.

Seasonal garden maintenance should follow a systematic order: clear away winter debris, prune at the right time, prepare the soil, and then plant. Additional steps include appropriate watering, mulching, and caring for lawns and borders. Following these guidelines helps plants recover faster and supports a healthier garden throughout the growing season.
