You mentioned a couple of different types of Gardens and I was on your website earlier. The Eco Gardens by Washburn dot site and you had rain Gardens butterfly Gardens pollinator Gardens edible landscaping and rock Gardens. I've got a pet rock would that help my pet rock get more exercise.

I think so Bob especially with all the oxygen that the plant will give up for your pet rock I think it will be much more helpful.

Let's walk through what is your plosives of Gardens our butterfly garden. Are you planting plants to make butterflies come into my yard.

Yes we will be planting plump milkweed or Rose milkweed brings and attract butterflies into your yard into your landscape. And so you can be sitting on your patio or just looking out your kitchen windows. Oh my gosh look at that beautiful butterfly and be mesmerized. And that's also going to help enhance the pollinator action in your landscape too. What about a rain garden also known as bio retention. I think more in a residential landscape. We say rain Gardens and then commercial since there's larger properties we call those bio retention rain Gardens are going to help aid in the retention of the water that is going to leave your property if you don't have a rain garden and does that rain garden is going to act as a retention pond.

But a quickly dissipating retention on rain garden you can have trees and there you can have ornamental grasses you have native plantings you can have shrubs. Basically what we want that rain garden to do is collect that water and then quickly dissipated. Green Gardens are not your mosquito Haven.

That's a good thing you know. Pollinator Garden is something that brings in the bees so you can help with the bee population.

Yep exactly. Pollinator Gardens also bring in our hummingbirds and our butterflies and our moth and our other beneficial insect though not just bees and things but you're on the right track. I mean we all like to eat right. Need pollinators.

That's true. Well that kind of slides into the next one and the next have a garden instead of Gardens it says edible landscaping what do you mean by that edible landscaping.

If you're going to be outside in your yard and you're hungry something as simple as a raspberry hedgerows or something. We've got fruit trees we can plant we have shrubs we can plant we have like a service berry tree that gives a berries for wildlife but that gives the berries for jams and jellies.

We can make some wine out of a Ronia shrubs.

Oh goodness edible landscaping dual purpose you know producing fruit or vegetable type.

So just basically making stuff edible so that way we can enjoy our garden by not only visually but also tastefully as well. Finally rock Gardens as I mentioned at the beginning that I've got a pet rock and I really I really do have one that I bought was kind of funny but what what really is a rock garden rock garden that's more of a Zero Escape feature and when I say Zero Escape that's felt an act like the rocks there.

So very very very drought tolerant used in places where people don't necessarily want to or maybe they can't mould or maybe they just don't want that much maintenance. So think of something maybe on a hillside or maybe you know you can even have a rock garden is introduction to your rain garden something that provides quite a bit of colour but also is very easy to maintain.
