Getting through winter and moving into the spring season always brightens my spirits and makes me feel more hopeful, as does the theme of this month’s issue: giving. When people take the time to give to others, to animals, to our environment, those gifts just warm my heart. Our April issue will showcase how Berks residents and business owners are doing just that.
From companies putting sustainability practices front and center (page 28), all of those involved in brightening the future of the City of Reading with myriad revitalization efforts (page 22), to creating an entire kindness movement (page 8), there’s a lot of good going around. To help ring in spring, we have some great advice in this month’s Living In Style from writer Lily Oswald on “Decorating with Plants.” I don’t know about you, but a bouquet of flowers or a lush fern hanging at home can do a world of wonders for boosting my mood.
Need some gardening goodies? Flip to our 5 Things on page 21 for some suggestions from local retailers. And for those looking to celebrate Earth Day on April 22 – even virtually – the Berks County Earth Day Committee has you covered. Get more info on page 8.
