With spring here and summer coming not long after, some homeowners in Butler County are starting to look to improve the outside of their home.

There’s many ways to turn a backyard into a private oasis for a homeowner. This can range from new plants in a garden to a complete renovation with patio furniture, a new grill and more.

Amy Brenckle of Brenckle’s Greenhouse and Garden Shop and Adam Martin of Martin Sales and Service said there are a variety of ways people are improving their backyards this spring.

“There’s not just one particular plant that is popular in the summer or even a particular group of plants,” said Brenckle on the foliage people are buying. “It really all depends on the person, and we have a large variety of customers that shop at our store with all different needs and wants.”
