It is a great time to get various plants and bulbs to brighten up your garden. You can either bring a plant to exchange, or you can purchase a plant if you don't have any to exchange.Grow a Garden in Your Own Community Garden Space
Do you have a small yard with limited space for gardening? Or do you want to grow a vegetable garden but don't have the proper lighting in your yard? If either of those reasons is keeping you from harvesting delicious, fresh veggies or a beautiful bouquet, then maybe you should consider renting a community garden space. There are a few community gardens in the area, including "You Dig It" community garden behind the United Methodist Church in Ludington. A one time fee of $45 gets you access to a sunny 4-by-8 foot raised bed filled with high quality soil. Organic fertilizer is provided.
