Happy Easter!

 

Can you feel it?  Spring is right around the corner.  My kids' bikes and basketballs have broken their winter dormancy.  The cul-de-sac is full of the sounds of play.  Neighbors have been outside eyeing up gardens and lawns.  I even saw a lawn mower getting its spring tune-up! 
 
The staff is still buzzing about the After Hours Ladies Night that was held 2 weeks ago.  We had a terrific turn out. All the ladies learned a lot about growing and using herbs, loved planting up their own herb pots, and enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends.  It was such a fun night that we made a short video and put it on YouTube.  Click here to see the video.  A good time was had by all! 
 
I ♥ trees.  Planting several more trees in my yard is one of my big projects for this spring.  You too, should plan on taking advantage of the great prices on trees through Otten Bros. TREES ARE COOL! Bare Root Sale (you can preorder now or buy in store April 16th -26th- see article below). 

   
So, in honor of Arbor Day (April 24th) and Earth Day (April 22nd) plant a tree, or two, or three, or more.  If you would like to be part of a global effort of planting trees, you can pledge and plant trees through the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. Their goal is 7 billion trees planted worldwide by the end of 2009.  My kids and I  have pledged and planted trees in our yard as part of this campaign for the past 2 years- every tree counts.  Click here to make your pledge to the Billion Tree Campaign.

We hope to see your smiling faces (and hands dirty with potting soil) in the garden center real soon because we ♥ our customers!
