There's something magical about spring gardening-the way the earth wakes up, bursting with new life and endless possibilities. The scent of fresh soil, the warmth of the sun, the rainy days, the tiny green shoots pushing through the ground fill me with joy and anticipation. I love carefully planting seeds; knowing that they will soon transform into vibrant flowers, lush vegetables, and fragrant herbs. For me, gardening is more than just a hobby; it's a celebration of renewal, growth and the simple pleasures of nurturing life.
But it took me a while to get to those feelings; I did not start with a "green thumb" and to say I killed a few plants in my own process of growth is an understatement. Although, there were a few good reads and our Master Gardening class that helped me in my gardening journey and contributed to my newfound skill set.
Here are some great books and resources that really helped me out.
In addition to these fabulous reads, we also have a Gardening class that is hosted by the Idaho Master Gardeners, every 2nd Thursday of the month from 7pm-8pm. Each month there is a new topic covering a variety of subjects throughout the year (i.e. microgreens, irrigation, weed identification, edible flowers, seed starting, etc.) and you can get their advice on your garden or lawn issues. If you would like information about our upcoming April class, please visit HERE.
One more fabulous gardening service/bonus we have here is the Idaho Botanical Garden Library passport program! We have a passport that can be used at the Idaho Botanical Garden for admittance for up to 5 people during regular garden hours. This is a fabulous way to get inspiration and education for your own garden as well! You can look into reserving or checking out this passport HERE.
Happy gardening everyone!
