3 Tips to Prepare Your Garden for Cold Weather
Temperatures may dip below freezing this weekend. In this blog post, you’ll learn how understanding your plant’s USDA hardiness zone can help you prepare for cold weather, especially in places like Seattle, where official Zone 9 conditions often act more like Zones 7 or 8. You’ll discover tips for protecting vulnerable plants, such as insulating containers, watering ahead of freezes, and caring for cold-damaged plants to help them thrive again in spring.
Beautiful Blooming Camellias
If you're visiting the nursery, you'll notice our camellias are putting on a show! These stunning shrubs are a must-have for any garden, and we carry a wide variety to choose from. Our full Camellia list for 2025 can be found here. Need some planting tips? Camellias are easiest to grow in part shade (think the north side of a home), but they also thrive in sun. Use a generous planting hole and backfill with compost or soil conditioner. Pay close attention to their water needs while they establish. Once established, water only when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry.
