Spring

The Garden is Waking Up!

After the sleepy months of winter, everything starts waking up. March, April, and May bring that fresh, exciting energy—buds breaking open, birds singing louder, and the first brave flowers showing their faces. Snowdrops, daffodils, and tulips pop up like little bursts of joy, and the garden suddenly feels alive again. The air smells fresher, the light is softer, and you can’t help but feel a little hopeful. It’s the season of new beginnings, and every day brings a small surprise. Spring reminds us why we fell in love with gardens in the first place.
