December — Garden Maintenance

Locate your house water shut-off so you can respond quickly in case of frozen or burst pipes. Thaw frozen pipes by wrapping with warm towels. Never use a torch or hairdryer as the risk of fire or electrocution is too...

Check your shrubs on a weekly basis for damaged branches that may need removing.

Make sure that plants in protected and sheltered areas receive water during the winter.

Lightly prune your trees and shrubs to use cuttings for inside and outside holiday decorations. Conifer trees, broadleaf evergreens, berries, cones, interesting seedpods, red barked and twigged shrubs all work well.

Continue picking up leaves and yard debris, and recycle (our Recycle Center at 150 Hwy 99, Eugene, is open for your convenience). Call for winter hours.
