Looking for ways to save money in the garden this year? Here are some ways to reduce your costs in the garden before you shop.
Plan your garden ahead of time so you don’t purchase more than you need while shopping at the nursery.
Write a list before you shop at the nursery so you don’t impulse buy (says the person who impulse buys every time).
Join a gardening group to meet other gardeners so you can trade plants, supplies, and other knowledge.
Shop online and look for deals. They are out there.
At the beginning of the season, set a gardening budget for yourself and stick with it.
Pay attention to the last frost date so your summer-loving annuals and tender perennials don’t get zapped by a late frost. Wait to buy plants until it's safe to plant them.
