5-Step Garden Reset: I Do This Every Year (After 60)
Every spring, I do the same 5 things in my small backyard garden - and after 30+ years of gardening, I can tell you these steps make everything else easier for the rest of the season.
In this video, I walk you through my complete garden reset process: the exact order I follow, what I've stopped doing (and why) and the small decisions that make the biggest difference.
Whether you're starting fresh or just want to feel more in control of your outdoor space, this process works in real gardens - not just the pretty ones on Pinterest.
What we cover:
Step 1: Assess your current garden and make a master list
Step 2: Sort into two categories: free and costs money
Step 3: Prioritze the free items on the list
Step 4: Make a vision board for visual understanding
Step 5: Learn a new skill
These small garden design ideas are practical, low-cost, and built for gardeners over 60 who want results without the overwhelm.
