3. Spring is finally here! And yes, it is a special season for everyone to get outside and enjoy the beauty of Spring. • There’s nothing quite like observing the awesome process of bud to bloom and seeing new growth appear on trees—to see the garden back to life again. And for a keen gardener, getting your hands in the soil to plant everything you’ve been thinking about all winter is more exciting and enjoyable, says Justine Guidry in the articleSpring Garden Ideas And Activities. Here are 5 garden activities you can do this Spring.

4. 1. Get Inspired • Hearing about or seeing what fellow gardeners are doing is one of the best ways to get the best ideas and tips on gardening. Connect with a community of gardeners and garden enthusiasts to get inspired. • For instance, listen to the podcast A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach to get the best tips and ideas from captivating guests in the horticulture world. • 2. Perform maintenance. • It’s time to get your hands dirty to take care of the plants by pruning, dividing perennials and planting perennials, fertilizing, and prepping planting beds in your garden. • Also get your yard drainage system checked if it’s working well to prevent water runoff in your yard.

5. 3. Choose a spot to savor your garden. • Maintaining your garden isn’t easy, so take a break and relish the fruits of your labor. • Spend time in your swimming pool with a beautiful pool deck design where you can relax after a nice dip, or simply place a comfortable chair in front of a fire pit or under a pergola to soak up the beauty that surrounds. • Whatever spot you pick, make sure you feel refreshed. • 4. Add a water feature to your garden. • The soothing sound of running water creates tranquility and inviting atmosphere in your garden. • So whether your vision is for a cascading waterfall or dancing fountain, landscape contractors in town with the best water fountain & waterfall installers can help you create a beautiful, easy to maintain water feature.

6. 5. Plan for summer shade and color. • Normally, seeds of most annuals should be grown indoors approximately 6 weeks prior to your last frost date. • However, if you missed the window of time for growing seeds indoors, worry not! • There is a wide range of hardy annuals such as zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds that could or should be planted directly in the flower beds after any possibility of frost has passed. • Spring signifies a new beginning, and updating your outdoor space with new projects or revamping your existing landscape design could make your garden activities more exciting and enjoyable all year round.
