Spring is in the Air!
“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” ~Dr. Seuss
Keep Moving!
Gardening is a great way to get outside and be active!
Are you daydreaming about lush green leaves, bright flowers, and warm sun on your face? Spring is almost here! Many of us can’t wait to get our gardening gloves on and get digging!
Before it’s time to play in the dirt, spend some time planning your garden.
What will you be planting? Flowers, vegetables, herbs, or a variety? Is your garden outdoors in the ground? In containers, or inside? Another thing to consider, is whether you will use seeds or starter plants.
Some plants can be started early indoors, and moved outside after the last frost. Others can wait to be planted directly in the ground. Whatever you plant, timing is everything! To find the best dates to plant and harvest in your area follow the link here.
