Here’s a tip from
the experts at The Home Depot. Using slow-release fertilizers, such
as Eco Options Perfectly Natural Tree and Shrub Fertilizer, delivers
nutrients where trees and shrubs need them most – at the roots.
And because the plant food is released slowly over time, you apply
it only twice a year – in the spring and early fall. For more
tips like this one, visit The Home Depot Outdoor Living Central on
the 800 Level. |

your own doorstep design, whether you’re welcoming visitors
across the threshold at the cottage, in the city or down on the farm.

Walk into the giant recycling box and enter a Pop Art world
of collages, sculptures and cartoon posters inspired by Andy
Warhol, Frank Stella and Alexander Calder. The Recycling Power
garden is where you’ll find discarded cell phones and
batteries transformed into art that will inspire you to recycle.
Sponsored by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC) and designed by Shawn Gallaugher, the garden guides you
through the easy steps of recycling. It also doubles as a collection
depot, so bring along your used rechargeable batteries and cell
phones and help create a more sustainable environment!
