5 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE 
YOUR HOLIDAY GUESTS ARRIVE                     


The southwest is an envied destination during the holiday season. You may have houseguests stay for a weekend, or even a few weeks. If you are hosting relatives or friends this year, prepare your yard before their arrival with these helpful tips and enjoy a Sonoran holiday:

1. Survey your yard
Survey your yard and patios with the objective of finding out what needs attention or repair. Are there ‘holes’ in your yard that need to be filled in by a tree, shrub or a vine? Does your yard harmonize? Is your yard inviting? Come in today to any Moon Valley Nursery and a designer will be happy to suggest plant material that will make your yard perfect for your holiday guests.


2. Spring cleaning for the holidays
Even though it's not spring, before the holidays is a terrific time to do some spring cleaning. Clean up any dead branches and rake any dead leaves. Hose off patios and clean outdoor furniture. Refresh candles. De-clutter your yard by getting rid of unwanted or unsightly items. If a plant needs to be replaced or refreshed, call Moon Valley Nursery.


3. Do yard repairs
If you have been dealing with a broken irrigation system, broken steps or leaky pots you should get these things taken care of before your guests arrive. A few small yard repairs and improvements can make your yard safer and more comfortable for your holiday houseguests. Call Moon Valley Nursery to schedule any irrigation repairs or replacements.


4. Childproof your yard
If babies or children are among your houseguests, it's time to do some simple childproofing. Keep all yard tools or other potential hazards in a locked cabinet or out of reach. Make sure your hose is properly put away. If you have a pool be sure your fence is in excellent condition and your locks are working properly. Call Moon Valley Nursery for ‘child friendly’ plant material.


5. Prepare a quiet place
A full house can be stressful at times. Prepare a quiet getaway place for you or your guests to retreat to. A single chair placed by aromatic herbs or flowers can have a very calming effect. Moon Valley Nursery has a huge selection of herbs and fall flowers.
