January at the Nursery... 

We are currently closed for the holidays but will re-open Monday, January 7th.

Winter Hours

Monday - Saturday   9 to 5

Closed Sunday

Winter color for the outdoor garden   During January we still have a selection of pansies and violas if you need to plant or refresh your containers or flowerbeds.  Mix in ornamental cabbage for bold foliage color.  The "jewel-box" blooms of primrose arrive in January, offering another choice for vivid color in the winter garden.

Winter color and foliage for the indoor garden   We have our best selection of indoor plants during January.  Bring the garden indoors to brighten up cold winter days.  Choose from lush foliage or winter blooms such as cyclamen, kalanchoe and forced bulbs.

Winter Herbs & Perennials   Our fairly mild winters offer us the opportunity to garden on sunny winter days.  Why not plant a winter herb garden or container using rosemary, parsley, thyme, oregano and chives?  Perennials such as heuchera and lenten rose put on a show with their colorful leaves and blooms.

Trees, Shrubs & Groundcovers   Winter is an excellent time to plant!  Take advantage of warmer, sunny January days to plant trees, shrubs and groundcovers.  These will be able to establish an adequate root system before summer heat sets in, minimizing stress on you and the plants!

January Garden Tasks

• Trim back snapdragons, dianthus and foxglove so they will come out full and thick this spring.
• Pinch dead blooms from your pansy and viola plants.
• Fertilize pansies, violas, snaps, dianthus and foxglove with fertilome Start-N-Grow, a granular, time-released fertilizer that is effective during cold weather.
• If your pansies and violas aren't blooming as much as you would like, give them a boost with fertilome Blooming & Rooting, a water-soluble fertilizer that encourages profuse blooms.
• Prune hollies and broadleaf evergreen shrubs (any evergreen shrub that has no real flowering importance).  Prune lightly to shape, or cut back hard to reduce size and rejuvenate growth.
