Warm thoughts and New Year greetings from all of us at White Oak Garden Center.
Winter might seem like an unusual time to think about your outdoor living space, but on the contrary now is the perfect time to start thinking about your spring garden and landscape.
- Make a wish list of things you'd like to add to your landscape or garden this year. Stop in and have our landscape designers draw a plan for you to plant in the spring, or contact White Oak Environmentals, The Landscape Division of White Oak Garden Center for an estimate.
- Take advantage of our services. Every Saturday in the months of January & February we're offering complimentary in-store design consultations from one of our Landscape Design Experts. Stop in between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a photo and measurements and one of our experts will assist you with your project. Or give us a call to schedule an appointment during the week. Do-It-Yourself Landscape Design Program
- As uncomfortable as the cold is to all of us, the frigid temperatures are especially difficult for our winged neighbors. Start a feeding system to attract birds to your yard now and reap the benefits in the spring as they help control insects in your yard.
- Start indoor seeds in the next few weeks. You'll save money and get a head start on the growing season. And you and your green thumb will be thankful for the emotional benefits of nurturing a tender seedling from seed to a mature plant.
