WHAT TO PLANT FOR IMPACT IN 2018
by Jenny Mandt, Owner, Garden Coaching Solutions
“In a bulb there is a flower, in a seed an apple tree…” is a song about planting today to reap the rewards tomorrow. Why not plant something now that will make your garden shine next year? With a little planning, digging, and effort the results will be worth it. First thing is to check out your soil. Is it a hard as a rock, sandy, grey and lifeless looking? This should be corrected before you plant anything. New or divided plants, shrubs or trees will need fertile, well-draining soil in order to thrive. Adding soil building compost can really boost nutrition in lifeless soil.

"Tara was very professional, knowledgeable and honest. I work in the real estate business and she is one of the best agents I have worked with. We worked well together and she knew what was needed to get our house ready for the market. We exceeded our goals and handling multiple offers was a very smooth process due to clear explanation of the process. We had a few different buying situations come up during our process of buying a home. Tara took the time to assess the situations and gave great advice in handling each unique deal. She always had her clients needs in mind and was willing to work through situations with out pressuring for a quick sale."
