What a weekend. Pleasantly cool mornings followed by abundant sunshine and warm afternoons. That's what spring is supposed to be like! And with the time change, we can now play in our gardens even later in the evening. If you are looking for a little jumpstart designing your perfect landscape, then come out to Kerby's this Saturday, March 16th at 10am for the workshop on creating curb appeal. You'll learn some simple ideas for designing a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape. Don't forget that Kerby's is back to spring hours: Monday to Saturday, 9 - 5:30 and Sunday, 9 - 4.
