Back to the "Green"

May 1, 2008

This Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Landscapes Southern California Style garden, 450 Alessandro Blvd. in Riverside, you Will be able to purchase water-efficient plants. The California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers is sponsoring the event. The plants will be supplied by wholesale growers in the area. Representatives from growers and master gardeners from UC Riverside will be available to answer questions. Even if you are not in the market to purchase plants, this is a great opportunity to learn about these water-efficient plants. I know that I am really excited about the opportunity and plan to attend.

If gardening is not your thing, but fixing up your home, refinishing furniture or various arts and crafts projects, I received a newsletter from the California Association of Realtors that contained an article on eco-friendly paint strippers.

If you have projects and you need to strip the old paint, you might want to check out these products. www.soyclean.biz/paint_stripper.asp for a soy based stripper and http://www.m-tc.com/ for a more industrial strength product.

It is great to see that more and more industries are focusing on the protection of our environment.
