  season for everyone to get outside and enjoy the
  beauty of Spring.
• Theres nothing quite like observing the awesome
  process of bud to bloom and seeing new growth
  appear on treesto see the garden back to life

• 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.
• Its 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
  its working well to prevent water runoff in your
  yard.

• 3. Choose a spot to savor your garden.
• Maintaining your garden isnt 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.

• 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.
