We’re talking about the most popular hobby in the world, and one that many, many Nevadans take part in: gardening.

Well, it’s December and that means winter is right around the corner, and the cold weather might mean a respite from the blistering heat. For our plants, well that’s a different story.

Fall officially started last week, and cooler temperatures are finally on the way to Southern Nevada. But that comes after a summer of record heat and historic flooding. Has all of that changed the way we garden?

As spring brings warmer weather it also brings allergy issues for many in the Las Vegas valley. So much so, that certain types of trees are banned in Clark County due to the high levels of pollen they produce.

The sun’s shining more and the weather … well, is starting to get warmer. It's the perfect time to start planning your garden and getting your green thumb ready.

Although Dec. 21 marks the first official day of the cold season, our winters are mild enough in Southern Nevada that gardening is never far from our minds.
