Find Inspiration in Your Neighbors’ Gardens!

Strolling through your neighborhood is a great way to discover the inspiration and knowledge you are seeking for your own yard!

Pay attention to plant sizes and bloom times, neighbors’ yard maintenance practices and hardscapes. Be curious and note plants, their bloom season and any gardening practices that peak your interest for later research. When the opportunity arises, ask a green thumbed neighbor questions for gardening suggestions and direction. Give yourself regular small yard challenges, like creating a walkway or a small flower bed. These first steps can be a great start to creating the yard of your dreams and strengthening your green thumb!
