Yesterday I made Hawaiian sweet bread rolls with honey butter (they're slightly paler then I'd prefer but they were SO good regardless) and took a few moments to document how beautiful our yard is during our first spring in the new house. Both the apple trees are blossoming (as is another tree we didn't know was an apple tree). The pear tree and magnolia trees already blossomed but are still beautiful. And there's apparently some cherry trees blooming in the back meadow that we didn't even know were there. (Not to mention the huckleberries, blackberries, and other berries...I forget). And Monotaskers vegetable garden is about to go in and the seedlings that he sprouted in the (literal) grow room he set up in the basement are just about ready to go into the ground. I'm so happy we moved here. Peanut is going to have the childhood I could only have dreamed of. My health has also not been great the last couple of months so it has been quite the reminder of why moving 20-30 minutes from my parents and brother (what's up @alaric-greyson) was a fantastic decision. Alaric is particularly good at daycare pick-ups and bathtimes! He's the best Uncle a girl could ask for.

National Backyard Day

National Backyard Day falls on March 19 and on this day we celebrate, embrace, and enjoy our backyards. Whether right behind your home or in a neighborhood park, backyards are a place for relaxation, happiness, and freedom. Gardening, cookouts, scavenger hunts, backyard camping, taking a nap, and homemade obstacle courses are a few of the creative ways that people use their backyards. These green spaces provide solace and creativity that is much needed in today’s busy pace of life. National Backyard Day is marked in celebration of the special backyard memories we share with friends and family all year round.

History of National Backyard Day

For many years, American backyards were purely functional. They were mainly used for gardening since there were few corner stores and market produce. However, after World War II, people had more disposable income and migrated to the suburbs. This brought about a significant transformation in the treatment of backyards. People focused more on the aesthetic appeal of these spaces and introduced ornamental plants and garden features.

Also, there was a surplus of materials such as aluminum and concrete, meaning that it was affordable to build patios, pools, and lawn furniture. The backyard grew into a place for leisure and entertaining guests and became an extension of the living space.

The establishment of Earth Day in 1970 renewed people’s interest in growing produce at home. Landscapers started mingling vegetables and fruits with ornamentals in formal garden designs, and “edible landscaping” became increasingly popular. Urban community gardens became more widespread and people picked up an interest in organic gardening once more.

Similar to the dooryard gardens of early America, today’s home gardens contain edible plants and herbs. People also include flowers and native plants to add interest to these utility spaces in distinctly American ways.

ZYRTEC®, a brand that makes oral antihistamines, has always believed in the power of the backyard. On the anniversary of backyards becoming the nearest green space of escape, ZYRTEC® officially designated March 19, 2021, as the first National Backyard Day.

National Backyard Day FAQs

When is the best time to water my backyard plants?

In the evening or early in the morning works best since the soil is cooler and less water will evaporate than during the heat of the day.

Why is home gardening important?

It contributes immensely to daily food needs.

What seeds sprout the fastest?

Radishes, melon, and squash plants. For flowers, consider zinnias or marigolds.

National Backyard Day Activities

Sit in your backyard: Take some time to relax and unplug. Leave your phone in the house, lay on a lawn chair, and enjoy the sights and sounds in your backyard.

Invite others: Invite your friends to spend time with you in your backyard. It could be something as simple as catching up over a few drinks, or more elaborate like an afternoon of barbequing.

Tend to your backyard: Inspect your yard to see if any weeds need pulling or if there are flowers that may have been neglected. Giving your backyard some tender loving care on this day will benefit both you and the garden.

5 Unknown Facts About Backyard Gardens

Flowers as clocks: The naturalist Carolus Linnaeus discovered that certain plants/ flowers opened at specific times of the day, such as Hawk’s Beard at 6:30 A.M., Hawkbit at seven A.M., and the Ice Plant at 11 A.M.

More than gold: The tulip flower was once worth more than gold, especially, the white variety.

Rich backyard soil: Studies show that there are more microorganisms in one teaspoon of soil than there are people on earth.

Plants have ears: Research has shown that vibration (like music or the sound of your voice) can affect plant growth.

Sweet tomato recipe: Regularly sprinkling baking soda into your tomato plant's soil can help reduce acidity which makes the tomato crop sweeter.

Why We Love National Backyard Day

It’s a day to relax: It's so easy to get caught up in life's busy pace. But on National Backyard Day, we get into chill mode as we unwind in these havens of serenity.

We get together with loved ones: Good things are always better when shared. National Backyard Day gives us a chance to bond and relax with our loved ones.
