HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

HOME + MOUNTAIN LIFE COUNTRY GARDENS NURSERY

Would you like to add a lawn or a green area for the kids to play, but don’t want to worry about maintenance watering, dead spots or problem areas? Country Gardens Nursery (CGN) in Heber proposes installing high quality turfgrass this summer or fall. Stop by their new help desk and speak to a personal gardening consultant to learn about options and layout ideas. CGN also recognizes that landscaping and gardening can be intimidating and you may not know where to start. Their experts will cover all the bases, from education and consultations to drought-resistant products and sourcing. They will also assist with plant and flower choices, or any topic of concern or curiosity.

“If you are looking at big orders or unique varieties, there is a chance that you may not be able to get it this year because of the COVID shortages,” explained General Manager, Megan Mounteer. “But what’s nice about CGN is that we do special orders, and we talk to all growers, starting from those closest to us, and we also track down the best price.”

DETAILS COMFORTS FOR THE HOME

If your patio has limited space, Steve Hatch, owner of Details Comforts for the Home, suggests selecting one central furniture piece. For example, Details offers the Boca outdoor sofa which allows for entertaining without taking up too much space. Plus the natural teak wood will gradually change to a distinguished finely aged finish. You can add extra charm with a throw blanket or multi-colored pillows. Hatch’s favorite accessory is one of Annie Selke’s polka dot pillows.
