If those are your only 4 accounts, then I would leave it open.

I think you really need to make up your mind on what you want to do. The point of gardening is to not app for anything and let your current cards grow. It would make sense to close them if they were, say, Credit One or FP. Maybe even Capital One. You have cards from GECRB that will grow, as well as your Slte card that you just opened. The benefit to the Slate is that it is prime, and will grow with you. But like I said, you really need to determine what you want to do. One week you want to open a million new accounts, then claim you are gardening...

If you actually shop at Kohl's (as I do), I don't see why you would close it.
