With spring just around the corner, it is time to start planning for the season. Perhaps this is the year to break up that lawn with 
colorful gardens, and you are looking for some tips on the best plants for your area, or the best gardening products for your needs, or maybe you just want some advice about when to plant. Resources are available that can help you with all of these and more.
One resource that you have is, of course, the internet. From gardening blogs to plant nursery websites, where you can not only get information, but order the plants themselves, to weekly newsletters from gardening shows, the internet holds a wealth of information that can have you out in the sunshine before the last frost is off the ground. The only problem with it is that you will have to sort the information yourself to find what is relevant to your area. Or check out your local bookstore for a wide array of books on gardening.
For information specific to where you live, check out your County Exchange Service. An excellent place to gather information on what plants grow in your area, when to plant, tips and tricks, and more?”as a County service, their advice is free. Or, visit your local home improvement store. They will have a wide variety of the plants you are looking for and the advice as well. Rarer now, but still available, are local plant nurseries. These places specialize in plants that are right for your area, and will definitely have the information you seek. Whatever the resource you choose to use, now is the time to start planning, so that you will be ready at the right moment to get those plants in the ground.
