Almost a Celebrity!
People had so much fun with the Solterra backyard Bocce Ball court we installed at the 2014 Spring Atlanta Home Show as part of the See Thru House landscaping.

It was exciting to be on stage with celebrity landscaper Ahmed Hassan of HGTV Yardcrashers fame. He invited me to join him and answer landscaping questions from the audience. I felt like a celebrity myself while up there!

In addition, Solterra got a shout out from Ahmed while being interviewed by Good Day Atlanta as he played on our Bocce court, and from Walter Reeves, The Georgia Gardener, while broadcasting live on stage his Lawn & Garden radio show on WSB 95.5.

Our very good friends at Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine took photos and video of us playing Bocce Ball during the show. 

Check out the photos and links in the side bar.
