how to grow the perfect garden this spring

Few things say spring like a fresh garden. Getting your plot ready for the season can spark joy after months of the winter blues. Whether you grow your own fresh produce to use in the kitchen or just want bountiful blooms, here are four tips on how to grow the perfect garden this spring:

know what to grow

Your environment will determine the success of your plants, so it’s important that you consider things like temperature, rain patterns and the amount of sunlight in your outdoor space. Research if the environment will allow seeds to thrive or if your garden is better suited for young plants. It’s always best to grow native plants wherever possible to help nurture your natural environment.

pick your plot

Not everyone has room for an inground garden, so building a garden box may be the perfect choice. Any fearless DIYer can fashion themselves a garden box with easyto-use hand tools such as the ones from Benchmark. You can find plenty of design plans online to get started, but the best part about building your own DIY garden box is that you can customize it to whatever size and aesthetic fits your space.

start simple

Consider how much time you can dedicate to your garden each week and don’t overplant. Perennial

flowers and produce such as carrots and cucumbers are a great place to start. You’ll learn the dos and don’ts of growing very quickly.

make sure you’re well equipped

Having the right tools and supplies for your garden goes a long

way. You’ll need items including a watering can, proper gloves, hand shovels and mulch – all of which you can get at stores like your local Home Hardware. Expert advice paired with quality equipment will put your green thumb to work. ■

4 must-know essentials for an enjoyable

camping trip

Whether it’s your first camping trip or you’re a seasoned outdoors person, this affordable vacation will lead you to incredible places. The experience allows you to be one with na-

ture, boost your state of mind and explore what Canada has to offer.

Many people who have been camping can tell you it’s something everyone should experience at least once. Here are a few things to remember for the best trip ever:

choose the right tent

Tents come in different weights, shapes and sizes. How do you choose the one that’s right for you? First, understand how long you’re camping for, how much you need to store and how far you

will have to carry your tent to the site.

A good rule of practice is to pick a tent that fits two more people than your party for extra space to store your gear. If you have lots of gear, you may want an even larger one. If you need to carry your tent a long way, choose a lightweight model.

book your campsite in advance

Don’t leave it up to chance to find the perfect campsite at the last minute. Many campers book months

in advance, so get online as soon as you know when and where you want to camp and lock in a site. Make sure you read the amenities each park offers to pick the one that best represents what you want out of your trip and be open to trying new campgrounds.

be aware of the weather

Each season requires different planning and different gear. Coleman tents, for example, offer extensive protection from the weather, saving you from making extra adjustments to weatherproof them. Layers of clothing also are key to prepare for changing weather. A base layer with wicking fabric

will keep you warm during cooler nights.

follow a few food rules

When you’re camping, you’re a visitor. Wildlife will be present and will take advantage of any food that’s left out. Never leave food outside or in a tent unattended, and don’t burn food waste in a fire. Always wash your dishes right away. Store food in your car inside your cooler, if possible. Often, parks have rules and guidelines around food storage, so make sure you’re aware and follow these.

designing for wellness: personalize your space to prioritize your mind

Anew season brings new beginnings and positive transformations.

Colour and design expert, Sharon Grech, shares three tips for using colour within your space to adjust the mood and prioritize your enjoyment in every space you create.

optimize the psychology of colour

We all know how important it is to make a good first impression, so why not extend this to the feel of your home? Ensure your guests are filled with a welcoming and comfortable energy the moment they walk in by applying colours

that will boost the atmosphere of your communal spaces. For your entry way, kitchen and dining room, Grech recommends uplifting yellows and understated, elegant browns such as Wenge AF-180.

“These colours not only provide a warm, balanced and inviting interior, but they can increase feelings of happiness and relaxation,” says Grech. For a durable, washable finish in kitchen and communal areas she suggests using Regal Select interior paint which includes stain-release technology.

paint for productivity

As many of us continue to work remotely, it makes sense to pay at-

tention to how colour impacts our productivity. “Incorporate colours that inspire, support focus and reduce stress in your workspace such as deep shades of blue like Old Navy 2063-10. Employ red hues in accents or accessories to stimulate creativity and boost energy in your space,” says Grech.

calm your mind before bed

While we often paint our bedrooms for an appealing appearance, it’s worth considering the impact colour can have on our mood and sleep. Ensure your bedroom is a comforting and calming sanctu-

ary by choosing hues of lilac and purple for mental calm. To be at the forefront of colour trends, try incorporating New Age 1444, a soft and ethereal light purple grounded by a drop of gray, or use warm shades of pink and brown for relaxation. ■

3 easy, eye-catching design updates maximum effect from minimal effort

Design projects don’t need to be intimidating. If you feel inspired to refresh your space but lack time for a full renovation, you can still create a bold and artsy statement in one weekend with paint and minimal effort. To help you achieve the latest look, Sharon Grech, Benjamin Moore colour and design expert, shares her top three tips for quick and easy design ideas to refresh your home.

highlight interesting elements

In just a couple of days you can create a wow-factor your guests won’t stop talking about – without breaking the bank. Grech recommends accentuating smaller features such as a doorframe, fireplace or bookshelf with a stand-out contrasting paint hue. “You can also ‘step-up’ your staircase with a

confident, colourful paint on the tread or riser to really make a statement.”

turn old into new

“Give a piece of furniture like a kitchen stool or bed frame a quick refresh and create a completely new focus and feel for your space in a few hours,” says Grech. “Adding a fresh coat of Advance interior paint to an old piece of furniture can brighten it up, give it a durable finish and breathe new life into a space.”

introduce an accent wall

Accent walls make a vibrant statement and are a simple way to give a room a fresh feel. “Be unique and achieve maximum impact by introducing a punchy colour to a neutral room,” Grech suggests. For a more subtle statement, she recommends playing with different shades of an existing room colour for your accent wall. ■
