Just like in the garden, a new season full of new possibilities begins this year, and it’s that time again when New Year’s resolutions are made. Most center around living a healthy lifestyle, saving money and making more time for loved ones. But of those resolutions made this year, only a staggering 8% will be achieved.

To attain your resolutions this year, you’ll need to get specific. Narrowing goals to the specific action will be the roadmap to your success. The following are 3 resolutions you should consider making this year that may just help you achieve your goals.

1. Plant Trees: 

Strategically plant a tree or group of trees in your garden to save on your heating and cooling bills this year. For example, plant deciduous trees on the east and west side of your home so bare branches allow sunshine to naturally warm your house in the winter. Use evergreens on the north and northwest side of your home to block winter wind.

Planting the right trees in the right places can have a huge affect on your wallet. Trees can provide up to 30% AC savings and reduce wind in the winter that can offer anywhere from 2-8% savings in heating bills.

Trees are an essential component in keeping our cities cool in the summer. So not only will you be saving money, but you’ll be doing your part in the community. Also, every 100 trees removes 2 tons of CO2 annually so trees will not only keep your pocketbook full, but you’ll also have clean air to breath! Find out more tree facts in one of our videos here.

2. Spend Time in your Garden: 

Set aside time each week to spend in your garden. Whether it be reading a book or sipping coffee on your patio, take time to experience your garden.

Enjoying time outside is good for the soul. Stop and smell the roses, literally.

Gardens help us slow down in the fast-paced, instant gratification world that many of us live. Whatever, it may be, take time to experience your garden to the fullest this year. You won’t regret it!

Spending time outside can also be a great stress reliever! Just ask our Purple Polos.
