Homegrown In The City
Cucumbers are cool and peppers are hot as many people are showing renewed interest in growing their own vegetables. Today's vegetable gardens come in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles, and can be found in a backyard, on a patio, even on a rooftop.

The Healing Garden
In the best of times flowers help us celebrate the joyous occasions in our lives - the birth of a child, a wedding, career or personal success. In more difficult times plants give us hope and inspiration to meet the challenges of life.

New Beginnings
This is the time of year for new beginnings. Spring signals the start of another cycle of growth. The warming temperatures and longer days reawaken nature and people. This year try something new yourself - become a gardener.

Enhancing the Value of Your Home
Spring is an active time in the real estate market. Agents are busy with open houses and showings as people move across town and across the country. Homebuyers are searching for that perfect new home for their family, while home sellers look for ways to make their house stand out from others on the market.

Green Spaces or Parking Lots
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Today green space continues to disappear—turned into another mall, fast-food restaurant or subdivision. To counter this assault on the environment, it is important that an appreciation of the outdoors is nurtured in adults and children.
