Hello Spring!

Laurie Bornstein March 31, 2025

 

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your curb appeal and infuse your garden with color, personality, and a little feng shui magic. Whether you’re getting your home market-ready or just want to feel more joy every time you pull into the driveway, these are my go-to tips to create a space that’s both beautiful and energetically aligned.

 

🌸 Spring Garden Tips for Curb Appeal & Good Energy

1. Clean & Shape It Up

  • Clear dead leaves, prune shrubs, edge beds—clean lines = instant upgrade.

  • Pressure wash paths or steps if needed—fresh and tidy goes a long way.

2. Color Pop = Instant Charm

  • Use bold, welcoming combos like:

    • Coral + yellow + white (cheerful & fresh)

    • Lavender + silver + deep green (calm & elegant)

    • Red + gold + green (feng shui prosperity—fire, earth, and wood balance)

  • Repetition of color draws the eye and feels intentional.

3. Feng Shui Garden Touches

  • Use curves over sharp angles—create soft flow.

  • Add a small water feature near the entrance (symbolizes abundance).

  • Pair plants in twos for balance and harmony.

  • Keep the front door area open and inviting—this is where energy (and opportunities!) enter.

4. What to Plant Now (PNW Spring Picks)

  • Colorful annuals: pansies, violas, snapdragons, primroses, calendula

  • Hardy perennials: lavender, salvia, coreopsis, echinacea

  • Grasses & structure: blue fescue, boxwood, dwarf nandina (great for year-round interest)

  • Containers: Mix thrillers (tulips, daffodils), fillers (alyssum, lobelia), and spillers (creeping Jenny, sweet potato vine)

5. Bonus Tip:
Add solar path lights or a fresh door mat—small, high-impact upgrades that instantly boost your entry’s charm and vibe.
