Rejuvenate your landscape with new plantings

Take advantage of indoor time now to visualize your outdoor garden spaces to bring new color and life to your property when spring rolls around again. As your perennials come back in bloom with the warming days, consider adding annual varieties that will complement and contrast, adding visual interest and color to your flower beds. Along with replanting some of your established favorites, introduce new selections for a fresh and appealing landscape. Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2022 is “Very Peri” – a beautiful color that “blends the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.” Clematis, salvia, and lavender are some of the flowers that bring this color to life in nature. Have our horticulture experts suggest the best options to add the perfect finishing touch of nature to your property’s overall design.

Bring garden fresh vegetables to your back door

As more people discover the benefits of a home vegetable garden, it is wise to get an early start on planning and purchasing your seeds and plants to ensure you have the best selection of all of your favorites. Along with the more traditional favorites, consider adding some heirloom varieties from local suppliers to the mix, creating a more diverse, nutritious, and flavorful harvest. Involve the kids with a few simple plants of their own to tend and follow to maturity, when they can pick and enjoy the rewards themselves. From a small container garden or raised bed planter, to a full in-ground plan, a home garden brings the healthful goodness of nature directly to your family’s table.
