It is truly starting to feel like spring, and I can’t help but plan a garden with my daughter. There are plenty of incredible teaching gardens in the area if you’re interested in starting a garden this season with your kids and want to learn more. I also have my mind on summer already, with sunny skies and warm weather just around the corner. It’s the perfect time to plan a lakefront getaway the whole family will love! In the meantime, my top 10 events will help you make the most of the weekend ahead, rain or shine.
