Winter may seem like the quiet season in the garden, but beneath the surface, something magical is happening.
Just like us, our gardens use this time to rest, recharge, and prepare for the season ahead. 🌿
It’s easy to feel impatient—itching to dig, plant, and watch things grow—but winter reminds us that growth doesn’t always look active.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do (for our plants and ourselves) is embrace the slow season.
But that doesn’t mean you have to sit still…

There are a few gentle garden tasks that will set you up for a thriving spring while still honoring this restful season.
3 Ways to Prepare for Spring (Without Rushing It!)
🌱 Clean & Sharpen Your ToolsThink of this as self-care—but for your garden gear. Cleaning, sharpening, and oiling your tools now will make gardening easier and your plants healthier come spring.
