Plant a “greener” garden
February, Schmebruary—it’s never too early to start planning your spring garden. Start by consulting the book Building Within Nature for tips on growing an eco-friendly garden. Then head over to Eartheasy and let the site’s 25 Ways to Save Water at Home—especially the ones about watering your lawn and garden—soak in. Prepare for planting by stocking up on responsible gardening products at Gardens Alive, and you’ll have only one task left: Wait for the snow to melt.
