Hailey's Comments

Garden Greetings to one and all. I am Hailey, the resident canine of Alden Lane Garden Center. June is among us and along with June comes Graduations, Weddings and in dog lore: Wettings. Paws down, the coolest trick to take the edge off the heat is a romp on the lawn through the spraying

sprinkler. Why not consider natural and organic lawn care practices that are kid and pet friendly. Nature’s Green Organic Lawn Food improves soil structure and rewards you with Blue- Ribbon turf performance. Set aside the chemicals – go natural. Concern Corn Gluten weed prevention is safe to the beneficial bugs, soil organisms, and water ponds. I am also partial to Beneficial Nematodes which are naturally effective against FLEA LARVAE and 250 species of turf damaging grubs. What fun to romp on a fresh grown lawn that is chemical free.

PawsforReflection: When a dog runs at you, whistle for him. ~HenryDavidThoreau

The most valuable lesson man has learned from his dog is to kick a few blades of grass over it and move on. ~RobertBraul
