In the Garden with Paris House: Ask Gardener
The Winter Garden, what should we be doing in the Winter to prepare our garden for Spring?
The garden may be sleeping in the Winter months, but that does not mean the garden season has ended - it means different needs help ensure a gorgeous Spring, Summer, and Fall season ahead. Learn how to identify which plants, like roses and topiaries, need pruning now to promote healthy growth later.
The top 10 things to do in Winter:
1. Fertilize all evergreens with Hollytone to help them stay healthy and vibrant over the Winter, making you feel accomplished in supporting your garden's health.
2. Wiltproof
3. Prune dead or diseased rose canes
4. Prune, rake, and deadhead other plants and flowers
5. Plant bulbs before the ground freezes
6. Create a small indoor garden if you have a space for it
7. Force branches, such as forsythia, peach, and apple blossoms
8. Force Amaryllis and paper whites in porcelain dishes and terra-cotta pots to enjoy through the holidays and into the winter season
9. Grow beautiful, meticulously pruned topiaries in your windowsill
10. Bring in and store all delicate pots before the frost
Five Ways to Stay Fit Through the Holidays (Without Missing the Fun)
By Tina Baker
The holidays are meant for connection, joy, and a little indulgence — not for guilt or all-or-nothing thinking. Fitness during this season isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency and grace. Here are five realistic ways to stay on track while still enjoying every moment.
1. Move Daily — Even If It’s Just for Ten Minutes.
You don’t need an hour-long workout to stay active. A quick strength circuit, a brisk walk, or even dancing while cooking keeps your energy up and stress down. The key? Keep moving — it all adds up.
2. Plan Your Treats.
Instead of saying no to everything, choose your yeses. If you love your mom’s pecan pie, have a slice and savor it. Mindful indulgence beats mindless snacking every time.
3. Keep Strength Training Non-Negotiable.
Lifting weights isn’t just for January’s Resolutions. Strength training helps your metabolism, keeps your posture tall, and balances out those extra holiday calories. Even two sessions a week make a difference.
4. Hydrate (More Than You Think).
Between cocktails, salty foods, and travel, dehydration creeps in fast. Keep a water bottle nearby and drink a full glass before every meal or event. Your body — and skin — will thank you.
5. Give Yourself Grace.
One off day doesn’t undo your progress. If you miss a workout or overdo the eggnog, just pick back up tomorrow. Progress is built on consistency, not perfection.
Staying fit through the holidays isn’t about restriction — it’s about showing up for yourself in small, sustainable ways. Move your body, eat what you love (mindfully), and remember that health isn’t seasonal.
