🌿 April in the Prescott Garden Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch April in Prescott can feel like spring on steroids—or a flashback to winter. With tulips blooming one day and frost looming the next, this month is all about balance: nurturing emerging growth while honoring our persistent winter chill.  🌿 March in the Prescott Garden Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch March in Prescott still brings chilly nights and the occasional winter weather, but the season is waking up fast. While spring temps tease us, remember our frost risk lingers—so hold off on tender plantings and take this month to prepare for the busy season ahead.  🌿 November in the Prescott Garden Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch November in Prescott brings shorter days, crisp air, and a slower pace in the garden. It's a quieter time, perfect for gathering what’s left, enjoying fall colors, and preparing gently for winter’s rest.  This is a fun little bit of news to share. The local garden club here in Prescott is Alta Vista Garden Club, and they have been here in town since 1951. One of the many activities they do is recognizing local gardens each season of the year, which they call "Garden of Merit". And for autumn this year, my gardens here at Juniper Hill Cottage were selected! This is a group of very skilled and capable gardeners who care deeply about the local community and they work hard to provide value and resources to this area. I am grateful for this honor and hope you've seen the advertising around town recently as well as in the local paper.  🌿 September in the Prescott Garden Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch October brings a beautiful shift in Prescott’s high desert—crisp mornings, lingering warmth during the day, and the comforting rhythms of fall. Many plants are winding down, but there’s still plenty to enjoy and prepare for the upcoming cool season.  Every summer we do a monthly garden feature, to share with you the success and inspiration of other local gardeners here in Prescott, Arizona. #gardensofprescott For August I'm featuring a garden in the Williamson Valley area, northwest of downtown.  This garden is in a much newer part of town, than the July Garden, but it has a wonderful organic and lived-in feeling to it; like the garden has been here for a very long time. Because it is located in an area with many old Oak trees, and was designed with meandering walks and small pockets of plantings and garden room destinations, it is friendly and inviting space to relax and entertain in the dappled light of the trees. ~ post continues below, click Read More ~ This is a new summer monthly feature for us. #gardensofprescott So, for the month of July, just to kick things off, I've decided to start with my own garden here at Juniper Hill Cottage - in downtown Prescott.  Although this is a standard sized downtown lot, we've packed a lot into the space including meandering walks, covered porches, patios and gazebos, tons of shade, and even a completely custom built kitchen garden where I am growing over 100 different herbs, almost entirely from seed. One of the biggest highlights that make it feel luxurious is the creation of many small garden "rooms" and extensive integration with the massive old trees we are fortunate to have (13 of them at last count) and some outstanding views. ~ post continues below, click read more ~ |
