The sun stays out later, the flowers are bursting in bloom, and the bees are buzzing as they defrost from our chilling winter. Nature has its own way of preparing for the season of Spring and we wanted to ask some of our favorite locals how they get ready.
“Spring is a season of renewal, and for me, it’s a time to refresh and celebrate... Living in a small house with limited storage, this ritual of 'switching out winter for spring' is incredibly fulfilling. I made a promise to thrift as much as possible and it’s been a rewarding experience. By upcycling, I’m doing my part to keep clothes out of landfills while discovering unique pieces to update our wardrobes. My husband loves this part because it gives him more space in the garage!"

“Getting ready for spring means embracing the Sierra Mountains and making the most of the stunning alpine landscape, whether it's hitting the slopes for some spring snowboarding with my family at one of our nearby resorts or unwinding with a seasonal craft brew at some of my favorite local downtown breweries, Spring in Nevada offers a great range of possibilities.”
Chris Meredith, agency owner and designer, Design on Edge
"I naturally shift my focus to outdoor activities. Whether it’s a peaceful walk in nature or a hike to admire the vibrant colors of spring, being outside helps me feel refreshed and energized. Spring also brings bike rides and trips to the farmers’ market, where I enjoy fresh, in-season produce that’s both nutritious and delicious. Prioritizing outdoor movement and wholesome foods this time of year helps me feel my best—physically and mentally. So, take advantage of the season, get outside, and let spring inspire a healthier lifestyle!”
