Prescott garden keeping ~ December Edition

🌿 December in the Prescott Garden
Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch

​December in Prescott is a quiet, reflective time in the garden. As the season shifts into winter, your landscape settles into dormancy, and the rhythm slows down—perfect for planning ahead and enjoying the calmer pace.

​🌼 Seasonal Highlights

• Lay groundwork for spring: Use this slower season to reflect, sketch garden plans, and finalize seed or bulb orders for next year.
• Minimal watering & cleanup: Water only during dry spells or mild spells, tidy up fallen leaves, and protect tender succulents or perennials from freeze if needed.

📝 Full Checklist is on our Substack.  The Prescott Garden Keeping Journal – December  Edition includes:

• 🌱 Plants & Planting
• 💦 Water
• 🦌 Critters
• ✂️ Maintenance
• 📝 Planning & Reflecting

​A Quick note about my shift to substack

I’m moving all of my seasonal content — including these monthly garden checklists and my more personal reflections on design, simple living, and the art of living well — over to Substack.

It’s a quieter, more intentional space where I can share practical tips, stories, and behind-the-scenes moments — all without ads or social media noise.  And, we can foster a more personal conversation there which feels more like sharing from the porch than broadcasting into the algorithm void.

It’s still completely FREE to follow along, and I’d love to welcome you there.

Thanks for following along.  I will plan to put up a new Garden Keeping check list for each month, and then update them over time.  Let me know if have any other items you typically do annually in December - I'd love to hear!

Peace  & Contentment,
