December Horticulture Center Updates

In the WEL

December is a lovely time in the water-efficient landscape gardens at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center.

For more favorites, please visit our plant lists for Fall and Winter.

In the orchard

Spray peach and nectarine for peach leaf curl as soon as leaves have fallen.

Begin winter pruning. Protect citrus from frosts and damaging freezes.

See more December orchard tasks.

The vegetable garden

This is a good time to jot down how your summer garden did.  Keep a journal!

Our 2025 Gardening Guide and Calendar is the perfect place to record your gardening notes.

Backyard berries

Enjoy fall color on some blueberry varieties.

See more tips for December.

Grow herbs!

Rosemary is an edible garden winner.  It's tough, drought tolerant, evergreen and need we say tasty!  Whether you choose ornamental or culinary varieties, all are edible and all make a show with their blue flowers in spring into summer.

The vineyard

Vines are dormant and minimal maintenance is needed in the vineyard.

Enjoy the holidays and resume care in January.

Composting

Big trees mean lots of fall leaves—sometimes more than our compost piles can handle all at once.

Get ideas on what to do with excess leaves.
