Did you know April is #NationalGardeningMonth? There is no better way to celebrate springtime than to start or maintain your garden! Here are a few tips and reminders to help you grow your dream garden. 

Find the Right Location: Make sure your garden is situated somewhere you will see regularly AND where it will get enough sunshine. Most edible plants need at least 6 hours of sun to thrive. 

Use the Right Soil: Use quality soil that is nutrient-rich and well-drained. Add the right nutrients and products to help refine less-than-ideal soil (like our famous hardpan!). 

Water Wisely: When picking plants for a flower garden or landscape, consider water-wise plants that are drought and heat tolerant. 

Start Small: Overwhelmed by the prospect of an entire garden? Start small with pots and raised beds. You can always add more.
