A new and improved plant shelter anchoring device for securing a commercially available conical exterior-gusseted square-flanged protective plant shelter to the ground whereby the plant shelter is prevented from blowing off the plant during high winds. The plant shelter anchoring device comprises a bracket having a horizontal planar triangular clamping member. The clamping member has an identical pair of downwardly extending sides, the sides each having an anchoring flange projecting outwardly from a bottom edge thereof. The anchoring flanges each have a plurality of spaced apart holes therethrough. The bracket is disposed in cooperative touching relationship with the corners of the plant shelter flange such that the plant shelter flange is trapped thereunder. The plant shelter anchoring device also includes a plurality of identical spikes having a point formed on one end and an enlarged head portion formed on the other end. The spikes each extend through a hole in the anchoring flange, then into the ground under the bracket whereby anchoring the bracket to the ground. In an alternate embodiment, the spikes are replaced by hold-down augers which extend through the holes in the flanges and bore into the ground under the bracket whereby anchoring the bracket to the ground.
