January Garden Guide
With a warm heart and warmer workwear, head into the garden
with clippers in hand.
Many larger perennials need pruning in late winter; others may
be damaged by weather. Tidy as best you can.
See the land’s barrenness as a blank canvas to help you plan
spring plantings and any major landscape changes or
installations.
