And gardening is no exception. It's probably one of the most weather- driven and influenced of all pastimes, hobbies and businesses. So before anyone at this Garden Center & Nursery schedules any outdoor gardening activities, landscape jobs or projects, we always check The Weather Channel. It's available on York Cable TV, Channel 42, as part of the Basic Cable package, and its local forecasts are precise and dependable. For those of you in Southern York County, Frederick Cablevision offers The Weather Channel as part of its basic package, and we're also on that every day. Wave when you see us! If you don't watch it already, try it. If you're online with the InterNet, you can access The Weather Channel at http://www.weather.com/ and get the information firsthand and quickly. Special Heirloom, High-Quality Gardening Tools Hardly a day goes by without someone purchasing one of our special stainless steel English, Swiss or American Gardening Tools; certainly not the average breakable junk that you'd find at the mass merchandisers or hardware stores locally (these stores count on you breaking their tools so that they can sell you more of the same type; that's how they stay in business with the tool manufacturers!). Our tools are made of the finest materials, assembled in a way as to prohibit breakage, and will last beyond your and my lifetimes. Guaranteed. It's nice to have to purchase a tool only once, instead of every spring or summer, because the last one bent or broke. And to be able to pass it down to your children as a family heirloom - as in the case of the stainless tools - is a special reason unto itself. Why not invest in quality? Exactly why we carry only those brands such as Latshaw's Estate and Chelsea Collections, Sheffield Pride, Felco, Yankee Craftsman and Garden Tools of Maine. Ask to see this line-up when you visit; after all, buying something once that lasts a lifetime is a sign of Yankee wisdom and practicality, not self-indulgence. Christmas is on its way; why not give a gift that lives several lifetimes? Mulch: Myth vs Reality. Part 1: "Mulch Ain't Just Mulch".
