Planters Are Good For All Seasons
by Kathy Moran - 5/25/2007

|
One of the best ways to add variety, color, and interest to your garden is to use planters. With these versatile containers, you can cultivate plants that are not indigenous to your area, displaying them in your yard during the summer months, and, if you wish, taking them indoors when the weather gets cold. You can also use them to add structure and height in places that need a little extra zest. CedarStore.com has one of the largest selections of cedar, teak, cherry, wrought iron, and polywood planters, planter tubs, planter benches, fern stands, and tree boxes, all of which are designed to endure harsh weather for years.

Popularity of Arbors Still Blossoming
by Kathy Moran - 3/5/2007
|
|
Although vegetables have always been cultivated for sustenance, ornamental gardens of flowers and plants, grown strictly for their beauty, seem to have played equally important roles throughout the ages. Some Egyptian tomb paintings, dating back to 1500 B.C., depict lotus ponds, acacias, and palms. In ancient Rome, gardens were used for escaping daily stresses. Today’s gardens have many features that are quite similar to those of old Rome, including the arbor. At CedarStore.com, you’ll find an unbelievable selection of arbors, pergolas, and trellises, in wood, metal, and synthetic materials.
