January gardening can be a bit limited due to frigid temperatures and snow. That why now is the best time to plan and get prepared for spring. Creating a plan can help envision plants’ placement based on the amount of sun they need, how big or small they grow, or what type of plant they are.
To help you determine the proper gardening tasks, we put together a list you can do in January to make sure you’re getting your gardening fix.
Trade-in those Poinsettias
January is a great month to add some color to the inside of your home with a gorgeous blooming plant. Add colorful plants inside your home will drive those winter blues away. We make it easy and affordable with our poinsettias trade in each January.

Clean up & Inspect Garden
Winter can take a toll on your garden. The cold, snow, and ice can cause and hide damage you may not see until springtime. Get out there on warm days and assess your garden beds, shrubs, and trees. Continuing to check and clean up your garden state will lessen the amount of work when it’s time to start gardening again.
