Overwintering Services

We'll protect your potted tropicals and tender perennials over the winter.

Overwintering protects delicate, cold-sensitive plants from freezing temperatures by moving them into a safe, climate-controlled environment during the winter months. At Bountiful Acres, our professional greenhouse provides the ideal setting to care for tropical plants, citrus trees, hibiscus, and other non-hardy varieties when Bucks County temperatures drop.

If you have invested in or nurtured prized plants, our overwintering service helps ensure it stays healthy and ready to flourish again in spring.

With attentive monitoring and proper care throughout the winter, your plants return home strong, vibrant, and prepared for another beautiful season of enjoyment.
