Year-Round Gardening: Indoor Plants, Greenhouses, and Winter Garden Tips
For avid gardeners, putting down the spade in winter can be tough. That’s why so many choose to garden year-round, bringing colour and life to their homes even in the coldest months.
Bring Your Fancy Annuals Indoors
Expensive outdoor annuals—hibiscus, lantana, Mexican heather, passion flower, geraniums, and more—can thrive indoors over winter. Cut them back before the first frost, pot them in a bright indoor spot, and enjoy vibrant colours throughout the dreary months. Herbs like rosemary also survive indoors, giving you fresh greens year-round.
Invest in a Greenhouse
Greenhouses allow gardening 365 days a year, no matter the weather. With sunlight, fans, heaters, vents, sprinklers, and shelves, a greenhouse can increase plant growth by up to 50 per cent. It’s perfect for growing exotic plants, vegetables, and experimenting with new gardening techniques—all while experiencing the warmth of summer indoors.
Create an Indoor Garden
Indoor gardening brightens your home without costly décor updates. Hang plants, place them on furniture, or arrange them on window sills for a refreshing indoor garden. Miniature houseplants or dwarf trees can bloom or bear fruit over time, and small spaces can still accommodate a variety of cheerful, low-maintenance plants. Proper arrangement ensures your indoor garden is both functional and beautiful.
With these tips, you can enjoy gardening year-round, adding beauty to your home and increasing its value—sometimes by up to 10 per cent.
