Here's how to grow the garden of your dreams in 2018.

5 New Year's Resolutions for Gardeners

1. Take a Walk. Americans spend 97 percent of their life indoors. Hard to believe, isn't it? As a gardener, you know the magic, relaxation and beauty of the outdoors. Strive to spend more time outside every day.

2. Enchant with Plants. This year, grow only what you love. List the flowers and edibles you grew last year and remove the ones that weren't worth it. Add stars next to the plants you used the most. Tack on a few plants you've always dreamed of growing, too.

3. Test the Soil. The health of your plants depends on healthy soil. Vow to do a soil test this year before planting anything else. You won't believe how easy they are.

4. Promise to Petscape. Grow a lawn and garden that puts your pets' health first. Use only organic, chemical-free products, such as Espoma's lawn care products, to green your lawn.

5. Go Native. Live greener in 2018. Plant more native and drought-resistant plants to reduce water usage. The pollinators will thank you.

With your New Year's Resolutions, the garden of your dreams will soon be a reality. Tastier edibles and bigger flowers ahead! Track your goals using an app to ensure you achieve them.
