What to Plant (and When) In Southern Nevada

Spring is here, and with it comes warmer weather, colorful blooms, and that irresistible urge to refresh your space—from your front porch to your future plans. Whether you're starting a garden, redecorating your home, or thinking about buying one, this season is all about growth and possibility.

Las Vegas has a unique growing season, and now is the perfect time to dig in. Between mid-March and May, try planting:

  • Herbs: basil, cilantro, parsley, mint
  • Veggies: tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers
  • Flowers: marigolds, sunflowers, vincas, zinnias

Make sure your soil is well-prepped and consider raised garden beds to beat the desert heat. Local nurseries like Star Nursery or Moon Valley Nurseries are great resources for desert gardening tips.

Boost Your Curb Appeal with Easter Touches

Easter and springtime are a great excuse to refresh your home’s entrance with simple, affordable updates that make your home shine:

  • Add a pastel wreath or floral door hanger
  • Place potted lilies or daisies on your front step
  • Lay out a welcome mat with an Easter or spring design
  • Hang soft string lights or lanterns for warm evening glow

A cheerful porch makes your home more welcoming for guests—and even more appealing if you're planning to list it for sale.

Bring the Spring Vibes Inside

Not into digging in the dirt? You can still give your home a fresh seasonal glow:

  • Swap out heavy blankets and décor for pastels and airy textures
  • Add indoor greenery like pothos, succulents, or peace lilies
  • Create an outdoor nook for morning coffee or evening wine

Refreshing your space doesn’t have to mean a full renovation—sometimes it just takes a few small changes to fall back in love with where you live.

Easter Basket Ideas That Feel Like Home

Easter baskets aren’t just for kids anymore—and they can be a fun way to add joy and warmth to your spring routine. Here are a few cozy, home-inspired basket ideas:

  • For kids: Books, bunny slippers, puzzles, gardening tools, or DIY cookie kits
  • For teens or adults: Candles, coffee beans, cozy socks, cookbooks, or a mini plant
  • For new homeowners or hosts: A small kitchen gadget, floral tea towel, herb starter kit, or a spring-scented candle

Tip: Use reusable baskets or decorative storage bins they can keep and use around the house!
