My favorite part about Hen and Chix is helping to transform someone’s lawn. I had so much fun working with the Ross family to freshen up their pool area. Our kiddos played, we bonded and in the end they had a fresh space to spend their Summer. We started by trimming back the ground cover, […]
Transitional Landscape by New York Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers Todd Haiman Landscape Design I have to admit that when I first read this I was a little afraid, but as I looked at the pictures I realized that this was not a ticket to a dead lawn, but more so inspiration for a natural […]
For the past couple weeks – every time I drove past our house – I noticed my out of control potato vines and how I needed to trim them. Today, I decided to break my gardening rut and try to root the potato vine from cuttings. This is easily done with Ivy so let’s see […]
I was kickin’ back on the sofa flipping channels (I’m down to like 5 since I’m only doing basic cable now), and I started watching PBS. I’ve mentioned before that I’m pretty nerdy so watching a show devoted to butterflies is not out of my normal. The topic of the show was on the great […]
We were busy last week promoting Earth Day. We donated 31 Herb Growers (basil, dill, chives, cilantro) to the Grasshopper and Cricket’s preschool classes. We also donated 104 Wildflower seed bombs to Mrs. McCoy’s sixth grade science class. This is what it is all about…giving back and teaching our young peeps! For those of you that […]
Spring has sprung and Earth Day is here. If you didn’t know, Earth Day was officially yesterday, April 22nd. There are events happening around the city to celebrate the day and week. It’s good to have a reminder to celebrate this amazing planet we call home. One thing I think nature struggles with in our […]
What a great thing to celebrate, our beautiful earth! We have Mountains, Lakes, Hills, Rivers, Beaches, Wildlife and Plants of all kinds. We have regulations set forth in our country so we have cleaner air to breathe and safe water to drink. We should all be very thankful for this. Not everyone has this. There are cities where […]
Thank you Katie for sharing your photos. The liriope grass had taken over and the rocks were sinking. You only get the benefit of seeing the space after the storm. They cleaned out all the rocks, dug out all the liriope grass and leveled the ground. Once this was done they put the rocks back and planted […]
Don’t give up hope on your plants. Not yet! Our season is late getting started and what looks completely dead might just surprise you. You just need a little patience. And for those of you that know me, I’m sure you are laughing since I’m not patient in most situations. The tree pictured here is […]
From the desk of an Environmental Scientist… I love Spring! I love the birds chirping, the trees with their bright green leaves, the flowers starting to bloom and new growth on the horizon. Especially after our crazy cold winter that seemed to drag on forever, it really feels like a rebirth this year. I’m enjoying the […]
