April throws open the garden gates, inviting warmer temperatures, hours of added sunlight, and cozy soil temperatures to coax every plant back into joyful growth. The entire month of April is celebrated as National Gardening Month.
Spring arrives in Sacramento on March 20th, and suddenly the whole garden starts to dance with life! March is the month when buds burst with promise, days stretch a little longer, and everything in the garden seems to wake up at once.
February is a quietly powerful month in the garden. What you do now sets up healthier plants, fewer pests, and better blooms all year long.
Garden Goals For January: Plan, Prune, and Plant! January garden tasks include pruning, applying fresh mulch, houseplant care, and many more. Read on for your January garden tasks and tips.
Jumpstart your January garden! January garden tasks include planting colorful camellias, bareroot fruit trees and cool-season annuals, pruning existing roses, and applying dormant sprays to prevent pests and disease.
Our bareroot fruit trees are potted in easy-to-plant fiber (pulp) containers that help protect new roots so they don't break or dry out. This season, our nurseries are offering over 75 varieties of bareroot fruit trees for you to choose from—so come and find your favorites to start your own backyard orchard.
Bareroot rose season offers the largest selection of rose varieties at the best prices, including over 60 varieties of hybrid tea, floribunda, grandiflora, and climbing, along with 24" and 36" patio trees. Our bareroot roses are planted in pulp (fiber) pots to protect the roots and for ease of planting. Simply score the container, amend the soil, and plant.
Fall is for planting—it’s like spring without the heat! Anything you put in the ground now will have a chance to establish strong roots before next summer’s high temps, and there are fewer pests and less irrigating to manage.
Let's keep the garden vibes strong as summer winds down and fall peeks in! Fall is the perfect time to put something new in the ground: cool-season veggies, cool-season annuals, and spring-blooming bulbs to name just a few. It's also time for some seasonal maintenance: give your lawn some extra care, adjust your irrigation system for the cooler temps, and give all your plantings—old and new—a healthy dose of compost to feed and protect.
Better Plants. Better Service. Better Prices.®
