Just about every county's landfill problem everywhere is getting worse daily. More than 20% of available landfill space is now recyclable garden debris. Soon, there'll be no more dumping of leaves, grass clippings or garden debris in any landfill. And for good reason: these items can be composted and used in your garden as mulch, soil amendments and improvements that fertilizers can't match. Free of charge.
If you want to significantly improve your garden, we'd like to help. Stop by and we'll show you how to compost quickly, cleanly and effortlessly with 4 different composting systems. Plus composting aids for the quick breakdown and turning of materials into Pure Mother Nature. And informative books that are meant to help, not confuse.
If you'd rather keep your bags of lawn debris for use in your own garden, which is a very smart idea, we'll help you find the right composter and accessories that fit your needs. By starting now and using all lawn clippings and leaves, you'll have a generous amount by Summer. And turn Summer's debris into Fall amendments. And on and on. Now, more than ever, it makes good sense to compost, since fertilizer run-off has begun to poison our water to a greater degree in the past decade.
Our Compost Workshop is Sat, June 17th, from 10am - Noon, hosted by a noted Penn State Master Gardener.
Sign-up quickly and learn the secrets of using Pure Mother Nature as a fertilizer (1-1-1) and free mulch.

Water Gardening: Our Easy Way
How about a totally self-contained water garden that can live nicely in lower light levels, a bubbly waterfall or spouting ornament, as well as plenty of oohs and aahs from visitors? We've got just these in several table-top and stand-alone sizes.
Or an exquisite cedar Oriental 'Water Flute' in size from table- top to outdoor garden versions? Extremely easy to set-up, landscape and enjoy - in one or two days! Plus Companion Planting Boxes, Vertical Tool Sheds and Garden Benches, all made of long- lasting cedar.
Perhaps you'd like a full-sized pond to fit the required scale in your garden for immediate use in 3-5 days; large waterfalls, plants, fish and more; our Landscape Services Division can build one in a few days for a very reasonable price. Estimates
are free, so call and we'll be right out.
