Spring is here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast – and it’s the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into the garden! At Grow Landscape Yard in Pomona, we’re all about helping locals make the most of this productive season. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting your gardening journey, Spring is the ideal time to plant, nourish, and transform your outdoor space.
Here are our top ideas and inspiration to help you get growing this Spring:
1. Plant Your Spring Veggie Garden 🍅🥬
Spring is prime time for planting a wide range of vegetables. Warmer days and longer daylight hours give your crops the boost they need to thrive.
Great vegetables to plant in Spring on the Sunshine Coast include:
- Tomatoes
- Lettuce
- Cucumber
- Beans
- Zucchini
- Capsicum
- Sweet corn
- Pumpkins
Tip: Choose a sunny spot in the garden with well-draining soil. Before planting, enrich your soil with organic compost and a balanced soil conditioner, or just use our Premium Garden Soil which is already enriched with manures and compost, ready to go!
2. Refresh Garden Beds with Mulch 🌿
Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil at a steady temperature—all essential for healthy Spring growth.
At Grow Landscape Yard, we stock a wide range of quality mulches to suit every style and budget, including:
- Tea tree mulch (great for native gardens)
- Cypress mulch
- Sugar cane mulch (perfect for veggie patches)
Apply mulch after watering or rainfall to lock in moisture, and be sure to keep it a few centimetres away from the stems of young plants to prevent rot.
3. Fertilise for Strong Spring Growth 🌼
Your plants are waking up from their Winter slumber, and they’re hungry! A good Spring fertiliser helps boost healthy foliage, strong roots, and bountiful produce.
This is where Earthlife rock mineral products come in. These natural, Australian-made soil conditioners are packed with essential minerals that support long-term soil health and plant vitality.
Why Earthlife?
Improves soil structure and nutrient availability
- Enhances microbial activity
- Increases drought resistance
- Safe for all plants, including edibles
Try Earthlife Garden Mate for a great all-round soil improver, or Earthlife Veggie Mate to give your vegetable garden the best possible start.
4. Plant Flowers for Colour and Pollinators 🌸🐝
Don’t forget the beauty factor! Planting flowering plants not only adds a burst of colour, but also attracts bees and beneficial insects to your garden.
Great Spring flower choices:
- Marigolds
- Petunias
- Cosmos
- Sunflowers
- Lavender
Mix flowers into your veggie beds for a vibrant and productive space.
5. Tidy Up and Prune 🌳
Give your garden a Spring clean! Remove any dead or damaged branches, cut back overgrown shrubs, and prune hedges to encourage healthy new growth.
Pruning also improves airflow and sunlight penetration, which helps reduce the risk of pests and disease—especially in our humid coastal climate.
