BIG flower day.
What happens here
With materials staged, prepare all planters and garden beds for the new annuals. This typically involves removing any old, spent plants, clearing weeds, and loosening the existing soil. For planters, replenish with fresh potting mix to provide a nutrient-rich environment for the new plants. Ensure adequate drainage in all containers. Although the video doesn't explicitly show soil preparation, workers are seen positioning themselves around large urns, indicating that preparation or initial plant arrangement is underway. A ladder is used to access taller planters for easier work.
Goal: Create suitable planting environments and start arranging plants.
