It’s early January. The days are short, it’s cold, and there’s often a desire to close the door on the garden until spring. But winter isn’t a season to hide from. It’s a season to work with on your terms, at your pace, and with intention. The time you spend now makes everything easier come spring. It makes your garden healthier and more beautiful. And even just getting out there for a little bit each day can be enjoyable and beneficial. In this episode, Stevie joins me to talk about what we’re focusing on in our client gardens this winter. We talk about how strange this season has been because it’s warm, things are blooming and popping up when they shouldn’t be, and we’re pausing on important dormant pruning work until plants actually go fully dormant. We discuss what we’re prioritizing right now, our favorite winter projects, and what makes this season worth embracing.
