Spring Fever? Not So Fast!
A 2025 Planting Guide for Montgomery & Bucks County Gardeners
With longer days and warming soil, spring is the perfect time to refresh your landscaping, add curb appeal, and embrace the beauty of the season. Whether you’re planting for pleasure or preparing your home to sell, knowing the right planting times—and shopping local—can make all the difference.
Spring may be calling, but 2025 has already delivered a few curveballs. Between a colder-than-usual March and a handful of surprise frosts in early April, it’s smart to get your game plan together before going full garden mode.
What’s the Rush? Know Your Frost Dates
