Gardening

Summer may be coming to a close, but there are STILL lots of fun things to do around the Gallatin Valley. Here are some of the best suggestions for this week!

The last week of August is packed with events around the valley. Don't let the smoke ruin your free time. From politics to fresh veggies and live music, there ARE things to do.

Tuesday nights at Lindley Park are home to the Bozeman Farmer's Market, from 5pm to 8pm every week. The 2020 season will continue through September 8th.

If you're looking to add a tree to your landscaping, consider one of the prettiest trees that grow well in Bozeman - a Japanese Lilac tree. It's not the same as the all the lilacs you'll find around town...but it smells wonderful and it's a real "tree" tree.

Every year I put together my own flower baskets. It's super easy, inexpensive and a fun way to spend an afternoon in the sun. Until a Winter Weather Advisory is issued.

Every once in a while I'll spot electric mowers around town but the vast majority of lawn maintenance in Bozeman seems to be done with gas powered lawn mowers.

Don't be surprised to see more smoke in the valley as it's burn permit season in Gallatin County. Here are the rules involved in activating a burn permit:

If you don't mind very early hours, you might score the flower watering job in downtown Bozeman. I promise I'll wave to you every morning on my way to work.

No matter a regular spring habit or a quarantine hobby, planting seeds helps keep me sane every year. I even start things you're not really supposed to start indoors. Both flowers and veggies have a spot in my living room.
