Sunburn for plants? Yes, its a thing! Heres how you can avoid it
Whether you’re sprucing up flowerbeds, a patio space or even starting your very own veggie garden, there’s some simple and easy tips to remember to make sure your plants last through the hot, summer months. Local gardening expert Angela Chandler says to make sure you are watering properly.

If you cannot move the plant to a shadier spot, use a Dollar store patio umbrella or an old sheet suspended on a few stakes. Watch the clip above or visit our website for more helpful hints!
