Home & Garden

First of all the best friend of a carpet or rug is your vacuum cleaner.  Be sure to choose one that has a lot of power and has wands and attachments.  You will have invested a lot of money on that carpeting and on your rugs and you will need a good cleaning tool to maintain them.

Gardening is not limited to the young and nimble.  Gardening as a hobby or simply enjoying a walk around the garden should not end or diminish due to changes in our physical condition.  As we grow older, our eyesight, flexibility, strength and endurance may be reduced, even though our love of the garden has not ebbed.  Gardens can be designed and adapted to be beautiful and workable by anyone – allowing participation by everyone.

There are many kinds of poisonous plants.  Being able to recognize them is very important.  They can even be found in your yard.  These plants contain substances that when touched or taken into the human body or an animal in small or moderate amounts can cause harmful reactions or even death.  They are in abundance in woods and fields.  Baneberry, Star of Bethlehem and False Hellebore are some of the common plants.  Scrub Oak can be found on roadsides.  You can also find Climbing Bittersweet on the roadside.
