Don’t Let
Your Plants Watch T.V.!
If your plants watch our local news, there is a chance they
might
develop the dreaded “Cactus Envy Disorder” which is the
irrational desire to grow thorns and live in gravel.
Seriously, Atlanta’s water situation is important.
As a long time Atlanta landscape company, we, at Allgood Outdoors,
would like to offer a few of our thoughts on the drought and landscaping. |
In Everybody’s Minds The Lights Are
Turning On. There is no doubt
everyone has needed to re-evaluate water use. We are all learning
to turn off water sooner, watch for leaky pipes and maybe even harvest
rainwater. We will also learn that landscape plantings can be tough
and that we don’t need to drench them with water.
How About 24 Inches Of Rain!
Let's talk about the rain we have had. In the first 9 months of
2007 we had 23.61” of rain - for comparison, Las Vegas averages
4.13” for 12 months. The contiguous United States averages about
30” of rain each year. Yes, we need rain and our reservoirs need
rain, but still our plants are long way from turning into tumbleweeds
and Atlanta homeowners are a long way from needing plastic shrubs. | |
| Plant People Are The Good
Guys. Businesses use water for lots of different things,
however, people who use their time, energy and money to help add plants
to the planet are the good guys - people like you and people like
us. Plants cool the environment. Plants slow down water run off. Plants
condition the soil. In fact, if you want a recipe for creating a desert
- outlawing plants would be a good start. |

Everything Old Is New Again.
Before there were reservoirs and elaborate irrigation systems, this
area still had beautiful gardens. People simply used plants that
earned their keep. Since 1981, Allgood Outdoors has been planting
plants that do well in all sorts of conditions. We naturally prefer
plants that “live good”. These are wonderful plants that you see
every day and you see them in places where you know they are not
being pampered.
The Landscape Is More Than Plants.
Your landscape should be a beautiful combination of planting
and hardscape that helps your family and friends enjoy your very
own “Great Outdoors”. Your landscape should be about helping you
live better - not stress more. Allgood Outdoors can help you achieve
these outdoor goals. |
