Why Winter is the Perfect Time to Plan Your Perennial Garden

Winter has settled in. For many gardeners, the colder months may seem like a time to rest and wait for spring’s warmer days. But Winter is actually the perfect time to start planning your perennial garden. Pre-ordering perennials from Gardener Nation now for delivery in June can ensure you’re ready to make the most of the growing season. Now is is the ideal moment to kickstart your garden dreams.

1. Secure Your Favourite Varieties

Check out the 2025 Gardener Nation online catalog. Popular and unique varieties will sell out quickly, so ordering now ensures you won’t miss out on your top choices. From classic lavender to rare echinacea hybrids, pre-ordering guarantees you get the plants you want.

2. Take Advantage of Winter Downtime

Winter is the perfect time to reflect on last year’s garden and plan for the year ahead. Use the quieter months to sketch out your garden design, research plants, and consider new themes or color schemes. Whether you’re expanding your pollinator garden or creating a low-maintenance perennial bed, now is the time to make thoughtful decisions.

3. Spread Out Gardening Expenses
