Many of us who live in the Northwest love our plants, both indoors and outside in our gardens and around our neighborhoods. The Salem area has some wonderful options for whatever kind of plants you want. If you’re not sure what to plant when, you can always check the Old Farmer’s Almanac for a window of time when it’s best to plant a particular species. Most planting starts after the frosts end, so March is a good month to start planning and checking the weather. Whether you want to up your houseplant game or start a formal garden, you can do any of it in the Salem area at these garden centers and nurseries.
