What's different about gardening in Newark

Newark gardening schedules should account for a 78.2°F normal July mean temperature, 46.60 inches of annual normal precipitation, and 31.5 inches of snowfall. Those conditions make drainage, cleanup, and seasonal timing practical parts of garden care. In Ironbound, Forest Hill, and Vailsburg, describe garden size, access, overgrowth, planting needs, and whether materials such as plants or mulch are needed. A typical maintenance visit lasts two to six hours.
