It Is Here!!!

It is Here indeed!!Fall that is. According to the calendar and my skin Fall has arrived right on time. I know the days can still be warm for a while yet but the mornings and evenings are glorious-the pool is almost too cool to get into all of a sudden. That means the time to plant fall vegetable gardens is here in earnest, geraniums are looking great. we've received most of the fall bulbs for planting and there is not a better time to plant a tree than now-well if you didn't do it 20 years ago! Ready set plant-hope to see you in the garden!
GOOD GROWING

Home and Building Expo

I'll be broadcasting the garden show with Rosie and Romey tomorrow at the Home and Building Expo at 8am at the Phoenix Civic Plaza and will also be in and out of the Harper's Landscape Booth with Justin and Rose our landscape designers. Be sure to stop by and check it out. Remember we have free passes at our two locations for the show!!

Trees = $$$$$$ The Green Machine!!

For people feeling a depressed housing market, it
is worth considering that a joint survey by Arbor
National Mortgage and National Forests reported
that 98% of realtors felt that trees had a “strong or
moderate impact” on their ability to sell homes with
a list price of over $250,000. Additionally, the Center
for Urban Forest Research reports that the insulation,
windbreak and shade provided by a single
mature tree planted on the west side of a home leads
to a decrease in utility bills of 12%, an astounding
amount when looked at in light of a tree’s lifespan
