So you have decided to tackle that dreaded landscaping job of adding a border around your garden beds, trees and sidewalks. You have some options…or do you? Here are some helpful hints to help you cross this job off of your to-do list!
We have all heard the saying that the bigger you are the harder you fall. I tend to disagree with this statement and plan to bring my mathematical mind into play for this entry and highlight some ways that we can all stay safe.
I thought that might grab your attention as everyone likes to save money when they have the chance. What if I also said you could do less work, save the environment and save thousands of dollars in the process simply by switching to rubber mulch?
February may be one of the toughest gardening months of the year – 70 degree weather one day, 30 and snow the next – so what is the home gardener to do during this roller coaster of a month? While you may have a constant eye to the sky, February is actually the perfect month for gardeners across the country to research, plan and begin to lay the ground work for the spring and summer seasons.
As we enter into this New Year many of us take the time to pause and make a resolution to change a behavior – to better ourselves or the lives of others. What can we do to change the world?...

It is a question that we should ask of ourselves more often. The word “why” should most often be followed with the phrase “am I doing this?” Is what I am doing making life easier? More complicated? Am I becoming a better person for doing this? Am I helping others, or supporting a cause as a result of my actions? I am no psychiatrist, but would venture to say that if we took a moment, just a brief one, and asked ourselves “why am I doing this?” we would not do many of the things we do.
