No one disputes the beauty of fall’s spectacular color, but as we say goodbye to the muted tones of winter, spring is about to put on a show of its own.
Autumn’s rich palette will soon be rivaled by a thousand shades of green, with flower blooms bringing pastels to the party.
Maybe it’s enough to just sit back and watch as spring replaces winter’s drab hues with life and brightness. Or you can immerse yourself in the great outdoors with a walk along the trails at Audubon Acres, Reflection Riding or a nearby state park. Or maybe this is the year you dig in and develop your own green thumb.
If you’re feeling led by nature, the real-world experience of other gardeners may offer inspiration. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
