Prepping Your Garden for Spring & Summer

Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to bring your garden to life, and at Myers Greenhouse, we’re here to help you make the most of your space. Located in Winston-Salem, NC, our greenhouse grows 80% of our plants on-site, ensuring they’re well-suited to our local grow region. Whether you’re planning lush flower beds, a bountiful vegetable garden, or adding native plants to your property, we’ve got you covered with the tips and plants you need.

Preparing Your Soil and Planting

The foundation of a vibrant garden starts with healthy soil. Here in the Winston-Salem area, we recommend prepping your soil with compost or organic matter to improve its texture and nutrient content. Late winter or early spring is ideal for this step, allowing the soil to settle before planting. For greenhouse enthusiasts, now’s the time to organize your planting pots and check that your greenhouse is properly ventilated for the warmer months ahead.



When it comes to choosing plants, our seasonal and bedding plants thrive in our local climate. Start with cold-tolerant vegetable plants like lettuce or spinach in early spring, then transition to tomatoes, peppers, and herbs as the temperatures rise. Native plants are another excellent option, as they’re already adapted to the area and support local pollinators.

Seasonal Favorites to Consider

Bedding plants like marigolds, petunias, and impatiens are some of our favorites for spring, adding bright colors that last through summer. For vegetable gardeners, we recommend cucumbers, zucchini, and green beans, which all grow beautifully in our region. If you’re looking for a native touch, try planting black-eyed Susans or coneflowers. They’re hardy, require minimal maintenance, and keep your garden beautiful well into the warmer months.
