Welcoming the Spring Season!

By: Villages of Urbana

It may not feel like it, but yes! It is officially spring.  Despite the recent cold and snowy weather, spring flowers will be blooming in a matter of weeks.  So, for our Villages of Urbana residents, it’s time to get ready!  How do you plan on welcoming the spring season?

It’s easy to embrace spring with open arms, here’s how:

Spring Cleaning

Just saying the words ‘spring cleaning’ can make anyone cringe.  But it doesn’t have to be a dreaded task.   If you look at it like an opportunity to recharge and reset for the new season, you’ll see the more optimistic side of cleaning.  To make this chore a little easier, first things first, draw out a to-do list.  Knowing what you have to accomplish, as well as how far you’ve come, will help you finish the job on a high note.

Tending to Your Garden

How many of us have missed the ideal time to plant new plants?  The window of opportunity to plant may be set back thanks to recent snowfall, but it’s still at the top of every gardener’s list.  Whether you use planters on your front door step or have an indoor herb garden, start thinking about what you want now so when the time comes to plant, you’ll be ready!

Spring Shopping

Could you think of a better way to ready yourself for spring than to go shopping?  With all of the shops right here in Villages of Urbana, along with the variety of stores in nearby Frederick, finding new clothing or home goods is easy to do.

New Décor

If you’re having a little trouble getting in the mood for spring (who can blame you?) it could be a good idea to bring a little spring décor into your new townhome at Villages of Urbana.  A few simple changes like switching out throw pillows and candles can make a world of difference.  Many homeowners also decorate their doors with a new doormat and a seasonal wreath, welcoming spring right to their front door!

Before we know it, spring will be in full bloom and winter will be a distant memory.  With the spring season will come new residents at Villages of Urbana, and we can’t wait to see our community grow!
