January Gardening To-Do’s

January gardening can be a bit limited due to frigid temperatures and snow. That’s why now is the best time to plan and get prepared for spring. Creating a plan can help you envision plant placement based on the amount of sun they need, how large they grow, and what type of plant they are.

To help you determine 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. Adding colorful plants inside your home will help drive those winter blues away. We make it easy and affordable with our poinsettia trade-in each January. At City Floral, you can bring in any poinsettia (regardless of where you bought it) and get $5 off any blooming plant over $15!

Spring will be here before you know it and the fury of gardening will be upon us. Until then, planning or reworking your garden design can be a key to next year’s success. Use various resources like City Floral’s Pinterest, gardening magazines, or even stop in and get some gardening ideas from our experts.

Purchase Those Seeds

January is when you’ll start seeing seed packets everywhere. Now is an excellent time to start getting those hard-to-find and popular seeds. We carry the highest quality of vegetable seeds from Burpee, Botanic Interest, Lake Valley, Sandia, Seed Saver Exchange, and more. We believe every gardener deserves the best vegetable seeds to start their garden, regardless of whether your garden is small, indoors, a single container, or a large area. Growing seeds at home can be a rewarding experience that can benefit your family and friends when you share the fruits of your labor!

Clean Up & Inspect Your Garden

Winter can take a toll on your garden. The cold, snow, and ice can cause hidden 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 will lessen the amount of work you’ll have when it’s time to start gardening again.
