America. The pop culture phrase"show me the money," boilingthroughout business and industry,has cooled down and is forcingpeople to take a hard look at whatis really important in life.

Professional Landscape Designers."Take that food-producing gardenfrom the back 40 and put it wher-ever we want. Reunite the orna-mental with the edible - rosesbeside tomatoes, beds edged withherbs, and veggies used as annu-als."
Grace is one of many wanting to"de-lawn" America. Front lawnsare being transformed into veg-etable and rain gardens. "Hellstrips" - the patch of high-mainte-nance lawn or dirt between thesidewalk and street - are beingplanted with sustainable flowers,grasses and shrubs that need littleto no care.
Gardeners with limited space arefinding ways to have fresh herbsand vegetables in their kitchens.Innovative plant systems likeFertile Earth's new SimpleGardens come with soil, seeds and
a how-to guide packed in stylishsquare containers that make it asnap to grow kitchen gardens inany bright spot. Just add water.* Slow gardening is in. Instantgratification is out.
With the rising demand for local-ly-grown food, organic and energy-efficient products, people are gar-dening for the greater good.According to Lifestyle of Healthand Sustainability, (LOHAS) seedsales are up 30 to 50 percent andcanning saw a whopping 45 per-cent increase. Along with vegeta-bles, people are planting and pick-ing fruits and berries - especiallyblueberries and raspberries - fortheir nutritional value and orna-mental good looks.

add just a little GeoHumus, a newsoil additive made from volcanicrock combined with state-of-the-art super absorbents, to all yourcontainers and new plantings. It
