As the days warm and the snow melts, many of us are eager to get back into our gardens. But when is the right time to start? And how can we support the creatures that have overwintered in our spaces? I’ll explore these questions and share what’s new for NSBG in 2025. 

I’m so happy that this year… we truly have winter! It’s cold and snowy, and it feels so good knowing my plants are safely tucked beneath layers of leaves and snow. On warmer weeks, when the snow melts, I catch glimpses of the green leaves on my small native strawberries. I can’t help but smile, thinking about all the good things happening on my property. 😊
