E-MAIL QUICK POLL
quick pollAnswer This Quick Question: Who Inspired You to Love Gardening?

Many gardeners will tell you about a special grandmother or aunt or a friend who inspired them to love gardening. Take this quick poll to tell us about the person who was influential in getting you outdoors and enjoying nature.


Click here to take our Quick Poll.

Results from our last poll ... We asked "How much time do you spend in your yard every week?" and we were delighted by some of the comments that you added:

results blue box"I love to hear the birds singing and enjoy nature. This time of year is wonderful with the extra daylight.  Why come home and stay cooped up inside in front of the computer or watching television?"
 
"When I hike, I dream about everywhere I have been and every mountain I have walked. I love plants, trees and all the things that go with them ..."

"There is nothing more relaxing than to come home from work or home from the gym in the afternoon and sit outside and wind down."

"My flower garden is my therapy!"


We thank everyone who answered our last poll.  We love reading your answers, and so many of your comments are so beautifully written. By the way, the majority of our respondents said that they spend more than three hours a week in their yards.

GARDENING INFO
Our Accents Manager D.J. Ryan can show you (or your group) how to think creatively when designing floral arrangements. D.J. is planning to spray-paint the inner liner of these great-looking new planters for her own daughter's upcoming beach wedding. Great idea!

moisture control prodcutWe look forward to seeing everyone during our BLOOMING BUCKS shopping days!
Please remember that our staff is always here to help you if you have any questions. Planting note: With temperatures sitting in the 90s every day, you are going to have to really watch your new plants, trees, flowers and shrubs. Don't overwater, however. That can cause just as many problems. One recommendation we might make is to use a moisture control soil like the one shown at the right. These products are scientifically designed to hold moisture and help prevent dryout.
