Winter Newsletter

A typical winter in Boise

Greeting Boise Gardeners,

Winter is here in the Treasure Valley, but your garden may need a little attention—and now is the perfect time to prepare for a successful spring. At The Home & Garden Store, we’re proud to be Boise’s trusted source for expert advice, quality tools, fertilizers, chemicals, and other seasonal essentials to help your landscape weather the winter months.

 Winter Garden Care Tips for Boise

• Protect your plants from freezing temperatures with mulch or frost cloth, especially during our cold overnight lows.

• Water during dry winter periods. Although this winter has been exceptionally warm and wet, there is still plenty of winter left and it’s possible to see temperatures change drastically and for the weather to turn to dry conditions.

• Prune dormant trees and shrubs now to improve structure and reduce disease before spring growth begins.

• Gently remove heavy snow from trees and shrub branches to prevent breakage, particularly on broadleaf evergreens. Again, if it continues to be a wet winter and the weather does turn cold, we could see some pretty heavy snow conditions. Be prepared!

  
  

Our experienced staff understands Boise’s climate and soil conditions and is always happy to help you choose the right products for winter protection. We are open Thursday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you have a question during closed hours/days, feel free to call Charlie on his cell phone, 208.890.6100 or 208.917.4820 during open hours.
