On what day is National Plant a Flower celebrated? March 12
What is National Plant a Flower Day? This budding day gives us a chance to escape outside and plant flowers in preparation for spring!
Flowers come in a variety of shades, shapes and scents that would look (and smell) gorgeous in any home garden! When planting flowers, most gardeners aim to mix between seasonal and perennials (year round) in their garden. That way, after the seasonal flowers fade, there are still beautiful flowers in their garden throughout the year!
