As realtors in the area, we love and thrive off of information. We take any chance we can to learn about the area so that we can be a reliable resource of area information to our real estate clients. Gardening is something that we love to pay attention to. We love it for our personal homes, but we also love to know about gardening in our area to help our real estate clients prepare the outside of their home for sale.
Since we live in a near ‘perfect’ climate, gardening is a common activity in the Prescott area. But there are tricks to gardening in our high desert and mountainous climate. Lucky for us, there are a few classes coming up in February that can help you take your gardening skills to the next level.
