Expand your vision from Salem proper to include the nearby towns of Silverton, Monmouth, Brooks and Dallas, and you have a veritable Garden of Eden at the heart of the Willamette Valley. What is it about the area that’s so good for gardens?

It’s dark much of the so-called day, too.
But the weather outside, no matter how frightful, has no impact on the internet.

Winter is a prime time to figure out which plants you’ll want to add to your garden this year, and the sites we’ll mention are excellent sources of information to help you make an informed decision and avoid the “that one looks pretty” impulse-buy approach to horticultural purchases.
