Do-It-Yourself
Johnson's and ferti-lome make it easy to create a healthy green lawn - even if you don't know where to begin! Our 5-step program combines our knowledge and everything you need to weed, fertilize, and winterize your lawn for an entire year. Order once and be prepared all year long.
Get earth on your hands.
After you’ve enjoyed your cut Christmas tree for the holidays, take it to one of the free disposal sites provided by Sedgwick County. (Remove all decorations first.) The trees will be chipped into mulch that will be free for the taking.
Shelter, as provided by shrubs or your old Christmas tree, is a great start for attracting birds. Water and food are the other two requirements. The birds will drink, bathe and generally delight in thawed water during the freezing months.
Most houseplants need as much light as you can give them in the winter; even a lamp turned on gives them a boost. Reduce fertilizing to once a month and monitor for insect problems that can build up indoors. Common pests that can cause issues are fungus, aphids and spider mites.
Shop for seeds now to get your ‘garden fix’; then you’ll be ready to start them inside. Watch for seed starting tips in our February calendar. If the winter is dry and we have a warm (above freezing) spell, water the landscape, especially newly planted trees, shrubs and grass.
It's still all good in the hood.
Wichita's 4th generation garden center started as a small fruit & vegetable stand in the 1920s on the outskirts of town at the corner of Douglas and West Street in Wichita, KS. As the business grew, Harold Johnson, with his father Orie, bought 5 acres of land on West 13th Street, and opened Johnson's Garden Center. This location is still operating today!
Fast forward a half century. Wichita's "favorite hometown garden center" is still serving gardeners all over Kansas for over 90 years. We are a 4th generation family owned business, and are committed to providing quality products and excellent service to our customers.
