Spring is a time for rejuvenation and renewal. It’s the perfect time to update your home and landscape with vibrant colors and new life.
As we wait for spring to kick in (51 days, but who’s counting?), there’s still plenty we can be doing—even though it might not involve getting our hands dirty. Making lists of plants to buy and try, planning a new vegetable garden, and taking care of tools are just a few things to keep us busy. Whatever this season finds you doing, I hope that you’re able to find some “garden time.”
