January Garden Tips

Take advantage of a chilly day and assess your garden. Document your dreams and outline the steps to accomplish them. Explore our website, seed catalogs, design books, and local gardens for inspiration.

Grow Cilantro

Spice it up in January. Cilantro leaves and seeds are used in a variety of dishes, from Mexican to Thai cuisine. Plant cilantro seeds or transplants in January or February for a spring crop.

Wildlife in Winter

Even in a suburban landscape, a whole world of wildlife exists if the right conditions prevail. Help protect the water, food, and shelter of our birds, pollinators, and native wildlife.
