Earth Day 2011

Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility every day. Earth Day is the inspiration, the activation, and the beginning of a real commitment. Help inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment.We have to fight for the earth by restoring and replishing all the deterioration to the environment caused by oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, and freeways. How do you give back? Are you and your family eco-friendly? There are lots of easy things you can do in your own home and neighborhood to help save our earth, air, and water. Celebrate the Earth Day holiday by learning new ways to protect the environment...

~~~~~HAPPY EARTH DAY~~~~~

Full Bloom :) Full Blast

Scalping is over and spring is in full bloom sooner than any of us may have expected. We are beginning mow schedules and fertilizing treatments this coming week. Spring has sprung upon us quickly and it seems May flowers have beaten the April showers. Make sure you are watering regularly due to our lack for rain. We recommend you water at most 2 times per week for 20 minutes each time or once a week on a double cycle for 15 minutes each time. Deep watering is best and is achieved by watering for shorter periods of time in separated intervals to avoid run off.

Flowers will be here soon and we are look forward to another wonderful summer with all of you!
