Each March, Forsyth celebrates spring by holding their own Forsythia Festival. Forsyth was named after John Forsyth, who was the governor of Georgia in the 1820s. The yellow-flowered, spring-blooming plant known as Forsythia was named after him. The second weekend in March, Forsyth rolls out their festival in all of its glory for residents and visitors to have a little fun to celebrate the end of winter.

If you are beginning your lawn care journey, one of the first things you should consider is not your grass but what lies beneath it.

Having a lawn in northern Georgia generally means your soil is acidic, which means you have to regularly apply lime amendments in order to increase the pH of it. Bermudagrass (and other grasses) cannot absorb nutrients properly without a healthy pH, which is typically between 5.8 and 7.0. Technically, bermudagrass can handle a slightly lower pH, but it is not recommended.
One of lawn care’s greatest challenges is getting the timing correct. Certain times of year are best for certain things, but only if you have a certain type of grass. It gets confusing, right? Well, if you are the proud owner of a Tall Fescue lawn, late winter is an excellent time to fertilize.
