And when the other crash happened last month in San […]

I’ve heard of cloning animals, but never plants — until now. A historic oak tree in New Jersey is set to be cut down, but scientists are working to clone it, according to NorthJersey.com.

Selective Hearing vs. Selective Feeling
When I was little, my mother always used to say I had selective hearing. I always thought it was a good thing until I found out what it really meant. As I got older, I really worked on my listening skills and tried to understand, comprehend and learn from what others were saying.

Quit Playing It Safe
One soccer team used the landscape in a unique way. The team is not just using the grass as a field of play, but it’s actually using the help of 80,000 flowers – well, 80,645 to be exact.

If a fortuneteller stared into her crystal ball, what would she see in the future for mowers? Hovering decks, reclining seats and engines that purify the air? While none of those features seem to be in the near future, manufacturers are making changes to their equipment that forecast what landscapers could expect to see with new mowers.

The first article I wrote for TLC was about sheep. I mapped out a timeline covering the history of mowers – starting with those wooly grass eaters and ending with today’s commercial ZTRs. But I had no idea livestock might be the past and future of lawn maintenance when I wrote that piece three years […]

How To Enjoy the Great Outdoors
My house is next to a fairly busy road, so I’m accustomed to the sound of traffic. The back of my yard faces the woods, which gives me a little reminder of nature’s beauty. But the trees and animals I can see from my porch have nothing on the Moss Rock Preserve in Hoover, Alabama. […]
