What do you love about spring? We asked Three Girls' staff, and this is what they said: 

Erika: "This spring I'm super excited to start planting in my new raised garden beds my hubby just built (pictured). This is the first garden at our new house and I can't wait to grow a bunch of fruits and veggies. I have 2 blueberry bushes already and seeds for several early crops including multiple varieties of carrots, beets, peas, radishes, onions, broccoli and spinach. I'm also really looking forward to getting my smoker and BBQ out and making my famous ribs and pulled pork. Yum!" 

Natalie: "I love being able to ride my bike again. It's a good way to get some extra exercise and use my car less." 

Beth: "My favorite part of spring is more sunlight for growing plants! I started my seedlings pretty early this year so I'm already planting a second rotation of crops (pictured). I'm growing exotic plants like Tamarind, Soursop, Moringa and Meyer Lemon but also staple herbs like Cilantro, Arugula, Thyme and Green Onion." 

Emily: "Although I do enjoy winter months, I do get excited when the weather warms up and everything starts blooming! I can't wait to go out for walks and runs at the lake downtown and let my daughter play at the park more."
