Now that spring is finally upon us, it's the perfect time to begin growing your garden. While flowers and well manicured gardens are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, did you know that they are also helpful in sustaining our natural environment? Often we are too busy basking in the beauty that gardens bring that we forget how flowers and other plant life are essential for certain environmental processes to take place. In fact, without plants and flowers, we would be lacking something that has the ability to take in the carbon dioxide we emit and produce more oxygen for us to breathe!

This spring, bring your garden to life by planting some of the season's most popular flowers; it's a great way to help the environment while also beautifying your home! The following is a list of some popular spring flowers for you to plant:

1. Pansy: This type of flower thrives in cool weather; perfect for spring!
2. Lilac: Always a garden favorite, lilac's bring beauty and a great fragrance!
3. Daffodil: Start your spring with a garden full of beautiful, bright daffodils.
4. Tulip: Whether you're going for a formal or casual garden, tulips emit a natural grace that can make any garden shine.
5. Oakleaf Hydrangea: Oakleaf Hydrangeas usually bloom in late spring, and provide a unique shape and size that is sure to stand out in your garden.
