REAL ESTATE WEEKLY™ DECEMBER 8, 2011 VOL. 22 NO. 25 7

Gifts for garden and outdoor enthusiasts (StatePoint) Finding a gift that the gardener in your life will appreciate can be an intimidating prospect. Those with green thumbs already tend to have wellstocked sheds and a favorite pair of pruning shears.

But even the greenest thumb can benefit from a thoughtful gift. And with a little research, you may just innovate the way their garden grows.

The Veggie Lover: Grow your favorite vegetable gardener’s library with a cookbook. There are plenty of titles out there written with the home gardener in mind. Such recipe collections highlight dishes that call for fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables. A new book, “Wild Flavors” by Didi Emmons profiles dozens of uncommon garden plants, teaching you how to grow, forage, prep, store, and preserve each. You will surely have some innovative meals coming your way.

The Landscaper Gardening is no easy physical task, but don’t let your loved ones break their backs unnecessarily. Simple tools can go a long way toward easing heavy duty tasks in the lawn and garden. For example, PowerSharp, a chainsaw sharpening attachment from Oregon-brand outdoor products, makes the necessary task of maintaining your chainsaw’s sharpness quick and easy by sharpening on the job.

This helps get yard work done faster and with relative ease, especially when pruning and trimming. To learn more, visit www.powersharp.com.

Soil can be tested both electronically and chemically. Luster Leaf Gardening test kits allow gardeners to use either method, depending on what they’re trying to grow. To learn more about different types of sensors, visit: www.lusterleaf.com.

The Plotter

The Plant Doctor

For the gardener who likes to plan in advance of the season, bulbs and seeds make a great gift. Because these can be stored before being planted, (some for years) don’t be shy about gifting bulbs and seeds any time of the year. Just be sure the expiration date is far in the future.

Gardening is both a science and an art, but the science need not pose a terrific intellectual challenge. New products use sensors to measure important factors in soil, like moisture, pH, and nutrient availability. This simplifies diagnosing an ailing plant, so you can nurse it back to health before it is too late.

Seeds and bulbs make for an especially thoughtful gift, because it shows you are taking a personal stake in the contents of the garden. There’s a gift out there for every gardener. Just remember to consider the size and type of the growing space, the climate, and your recipient’s personal interest and taste when shopping.

Every house can be more sustainable – let us show you how Since the founding of Keller Williams, it has been our company’s stated mission to build careers worth having, businesses worth owning and lives worth living.

We realize now, more than ever, that a life worth living is one that is healthy, money-smart, and sustainable. Our new book Green Your Home addresses solutions for every home owner.

While less than 1 percent of all agents in the United States have had training related to green homes, more than 60 percent of buyers surveyed by the National Association of Homebuilders state their next home must possess some green elements.

In response Keller Williams Realty will soon be delivering green-specific education and a designation. Home buyers and sellers will only enjoy the economic value contribution of Green if their agents are able to promote it.

Our designation program will provide yet another way for Keller Williams associates to stand out from the competition.
