Hey Reader!

Happy April 🌱

It might be after April Fool’s Day… but honestly, this is the time of year we all get a little fooled—just in a different way.

Because if you’ve ever walked into a plant nursery (or a big box store garden section), you know how it goes.

You go in for one thing…
And suddenly you’re holding the biggest, lushest plant you can find, a cart full of soil that seems like a deal, and a few extras you didn’t plan on.

I’ve been there more times than I can count.

And the truth is—most of us aren’t doing anything wrong. These stores are set up to sell… and we’re just excited to grow something.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the sneaky ways we can get fooled at the plant nursery—and what to actually look for instead.

Things like:

• Why the biggest, prettiest plant might struggle the most
• How “cheap” soil isn’t always cheaper (I almost fell for this one this week 🙃)
• Why buying what’s already blooming can backfire
• The real issue with buying plants too early
• And how “perennial” doesn’t always mean what you think it means

And don’t worry—this isn’t about doing everything perfectly.

If you’ve ever bought something that didn’t make it… welcome to the club. Truly.

This episode is just here to help you walk into the nursery this spring feeling a little more confident—and maybe save yourself some time, money, and frustration along the way.

Listen Now:

And I’d love to know…
What’s something you’ve been totally fooled by at the plant store before?

I have many 😂

Talk soon,
