Now is the time to start planning for this year’s garden. Author: Jennifer Dawe Updated: 8:37 AM MST February 4, 2021 DENVER — A silver lining to the past year has been the surge in gardening. Rob Proctor and I love knowing that people began growing food and flowers at unprecedented numbers. A garden brings us connection to nature, a chance to be creative. Being able to go into your garden and harvest vegetables or pick a bouquet of flowers that you grew yourself just feels good. Especially now, it’s tempting to order everything you need for your garden online. It’s certainly easy, but you’re on your own with no one to ask for advice. Where can you go for trusted advice, plants, and supplies? Welcome to your local garden center.
