Ahhh Spring.

The season when the days warm, the sun stays out later and people start to think about getting back into their gardens.

When it comes to selecting plants for your garden, think local. Not only where you shop but also what you shop for. 

There are so many benefits of planting native plants in your garden. They promote biodiversity, support pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, they require less watering and maintenance as they have evolved over thousands of years to their region. These are just some of the many benefits. Plus, they are beautiful to look at, with their variety of colors and all the activity in and around it. 

I think that is the gardeners dream; a beautiful garden, one that benefits nature and doesn't require hours upon hours of effort so you can actually sit back and admire it. 

Even a small garden can be beneficial for you and nature. Get out there, get in the garden and make your world a little brighter.
