Happy New Year, dear fellow gardeners! As we step into a fresh new year, it's the perfect time to think about what exciting, special, and life-changing plants we can add to our gardens. The days are getting longer, and spring is just around the corner, so now's the time to make a plan and prepare for the season ahead.

6. Start a compost pile
7. Switch to organic fertilizers and plant boosters
8. Fill empty spaces with flowering trees, shrubs, and vines
9. Add butterfly attractors to your garden
10. Provide water for bees and butterflies to help them thrive and pollinate your fruit trees
