Looking for a hobby to get you outside? Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and head outdoors to create your personal backyard paradise! Whether it's a garden, a new patio, or fresh produce, taking on an outdoor transformation or hobby can be therapeutic and will leave you with a tranquil environment just in time to enjoy warm weather. Gardeners and nature lovers of all skill levels can enjoy these tips and resources this spring!
Tips for Starting your Garden:
Choose the Best Plants FOR YOU: Before starting your outdoor transformation, make sure to carefully select which plants will provide the best experience and results – for you! Consider the type of space you want to create, but also consider the time that you have to put into this new hobby. You may want a colorful garden full of lush flowers and greenery, or fresh produce right in your backyard. Plan ahead and be sure to choose plants that will thrive in your climate and the outdoor area accessible to you.
Do Your Research: Not every plant requires the same time and attention. It's important to research your options and learn how to properly provide the plants you choose with the nutrients they need to flourish.
Protect Your Plants: Consider natural plant protectants to keep your backyard's flora and fauna as healthy as possible. It is always a good idea to build a fence or enclosure around your garden to prevent animals from sneaking in for a tasty snack. Be sure to remove weeds regularly to prevent overgrowth and damage to your plants.
Have Fun With Your New Hobby: Do your best and don’t be too hard on yourself! Maybe recruit a few friends to help, play your favorite music while you are gardening, or just take in the peace and quiet of nature in your backyard. Gardening can allow you to appreciate your outdoor space in a whole new way!
