Though yards and gardens have been put to bed, there are still outdoor tasks to consider and holiday gardening gifts to be given. Consider these ideas.
- If precipitation is sparse and the ground is not frozen, water evergreen trees and shrubs to ensure they are well-hydrated going into winter.
- Purchase poinsettias to brighten your home. Learn how to care for them and keep them alive beyond the holidays.
- Spruce up your holiday decorating with a variety of holiday plants. They can provide vibrant color and interesting texture to your décor.
- Give gardening gifts. Ideas include: books, pruners, gift certificates, gloves, a living wreath, pottery, and yard ornaments.
