Green thumbs and weekend lawn warriors, it’s your season!
Spring isn’t here yet, but the ground is thawing and your dormant grass and garden beds are starting to perk up.
Now is the time to begin tending to your lawns and home gardens in preparation for warmer, sunnier days.
Luckily, Johnson County isn’t lacking for options to find seed, fertilizer, tools and expert tips that will help you make your lawn the envy of the block come spring and summer.
We know our readers must have their go-to places for their lawn and garden care needs.
We want your suggestions. As always, we prefer locally owned place over big chains.

How to tell us your lawn and garden picks
We’ll take recommendations for this “5 to Try” through Thursday.

Each Friday, we’ll publish our readers’ suggestions for what made it into our “5 to Try.”
