As the weather warms up and the flowers start to bloom, it's the perfect time to give your garden a spring refresh. And what better way to do it than with some DIY crafts and shopping at local businesses?
One great way to add some personality to your garden is by creating personalized wall art. With all the colors of the rainbow, you can design your own unique piece with just a few simple techniques. Whether you prefer abstract designs or something more botanical, there's no limit to what you can create.
But where can you find the supplies you need? That's where local businesses come in. By shopping at your neighborhood craft store or boutique, you not only support the local economy, but you also get access to unique materials you might not find at big-box retailers.
If you're looking for inspiration, you can also attend events like the Maricopa County Home & Garden Show, where HGTV host David Bromstad will be giving a live stage presentation. You can learn about the latest trends in home and garden décor, and even get some tips from the pros.
But DIY crafts and local shopping aren't just about adding some flair to your garden – they can also be a great way to bond with family and friends. You can create free make-and-take crafts together, or plan a whole day of shopping and exploring new neighborhoods.
Of course, if you're not the crafty type, there are plenty of other ways to spruce up your garden. Landscaping can make a big difference, whether you're adding new plants or rearranging existing ones. And if you're looking for a more high-tech solution, you might consider installing smart home devices like automated sprinkler systems or security cameras.
When it comes to home and garden improvement, there's no shortage of inspiration on HGTV. From Fixer Upper to Property Brothers, there are plenty of shows to watch for ideas and tips. And if you don't have cable, don't worry – we've got you covered with our guide to watching HGTV online.
But if you're looking for something truly aspirational, you can't go wrong with My Lottery Dream Home. Hosted by David Bromstad, the show follows lottery winners as they search for their dream home. And with Bromstad's signature charm and eye for design, it's no wonder he's become a fan favorite.
In one episode, Bromstad helps a couple find their perfect vacation home in Florida. And with the Mega Millions jackpot reaching almost $1.6 billion, it's not hard to imagine what it would be like to have your pick of any home in the world.
But even if you're not a lottery winner, you can still create a beautiful and inviting garden with a little creativity and some local shopping. So why not give it a try this spring? Your garden – and your soul – will thank you.
