Spring clean for summer green

By Lacey Sikora

Contributing Reporter

nce the area gets its first spell of warm days, the change in the air is palpable. Not only does it finally feel safe to open up doors and windows, but neighborhoods are teeming with people readying their yards for the summer season.

At Mariani Landscaping, Frank Mariani Jr., manager of the Mariani West Suburban Branch, says that it only takes a few warm days for people to get in the mood to tend to their yards, but cautions that there is a time and a season for all aspects of lawn care.

“We’ve been in business almost sixty years, doing landscape design and maintenance. This might not be the right time to start planting, but this is the time of year to start planning.”

The landscaping company uses the spring season to get some of the logis-

tics started for the warmer weather to come. New and old clients sign contracts for regular lawn maintenance care. Landscape design projects get underway with drawings and plant choices, and the business is busy training new and old employees to make sure their staff is prepared for the season.

Mariani says early spring is a great time to do a spring clean-up of your yard. “Before the spring even begins, in the winter, we do a lot of dormant pruning. It’s such a beneficial process and so healthy for the plants. Once spring hits, we start with a spring clean-up. We clean out the beds, do some edging and do an initial round of fertilization, and check irrigation systems.”

Part of the seasonal process for Mariani is also managing clients and work with an eye towards sustainability. Not only does the company recommend appropriate plantings for the Illinois weather and landscape, but

they also plan their business model to encourage sustainability.

Notes Mariani, ‘We encourage clients to group together their schedules by neighborhood. Not only does that create a lot less driving time on the parts of our workers and

trucks, but it also cuts down on noise pollution in a neighborhood to have all the work done on the same week.”

With a proper spring cleaning, beds are delineated and ready for planting once it is the right time. As to what exactly is the right time to plant, Mariani says there are plenty of old wives’ tales about the exact day when it is safe to plant new items, but in reality, planting is predicated on ground temperature.

“It takes time for warmth to penetrate the ground, so that date can vary every year.”

ne of the benefits of a long cold winter is an increased appreciation for outdoor space during the few months of the year that it is actually warm enough to entertain outdoors. Once the temperature hits fifty, it’s shorts weather, and a whole new option for entertaining opens up. Whether your home sports a deck, a porch, a patio or just a square patch of grass, chances are you and your guests will automatically gravitate to the outdoors in spring and summer.

You can get the party started by furnishing your outdoor space with furniture intended to weather the elements. Kellie Scott, owner of Oak Park’s Diving Consign, is ready to help you outfit your outdoor space with Divine Consign’s fourth annual outdoor furniture sale.

The sale will take place on April 29 and

Forest Park’s Yearbook sets a picnic table for warm-weather entertaining.

30 at the store’s LaGrange warehouse, with a preview party on April 28. The all-new furniture will include brands such as Ebel, Mallin Casual, Skyline Designs and Lloyd Flanders from some of the finest showrooms at the Mart.

Scotts says the sale covers all of your outdoor needs from sofas and sectionals to outdoor chairs, planters, fire pits and fountains. “It’s crazy how much stuff we have.

Items sell quickly!”

Once you have the furniture, you need something to put on it, and Yearbook in Forest Park has your spring entertaining tableware covered. Owner Jef Eberline-Anderson says the spring colors of Yearbook’s collections will add a seasonal touch to your outdoor tables.

“We have pink and green jadeite salt and

April 12, 2017

S P R I N G pepper shakers, and some new, in the box vintage restaurant-ware with a robin’s egg blue detail.”

Eberline-Anderson also notes that entertaining outdoors often means elevating your usual tableware to set a pleasant scene for guests. Yearbook’s Mason jar cocktail shaker has a copper lid and cups to make popular cocktails, and a line of new, vintage-inspired glass-ware also makes a great way to serve signature drinks at a party.

Linen napkins from Moss and Surf are handmade from fabrics from England and can be washed and dried at home.

Spring and summer celebrations are bound to include a cake, whether it’s for a birthday, graduation or family celebration, and Yearbook also stocks beautiful glass cake stands to elevate your pastries.

For larger gatherings, it can pay to think outside of the usual lawn party. Oak Park resident Karen Mullarkey Kerrins has owned and operated Affordable Backyard

Tents since 2003 and says using a tent can take your party to the next level.

“Using a tent creates a beautiful space utilizing the outdoors and can help accommodate a significant amount of people. Many people don’t have the space in their homes to host large scale events, but if they use our beautiful white canopy tents in their backyard, local forest preserve or even a local park, then they are able to have the event of their dreams.”

Spring and summer are the times Mullarkey Kerrins sees an uptick an outdoor parties locally.

“Graduation parties are a big part of the summer season in Oak Park and River Forest. Weddings come in close behind and birthday celebrations. Cheney Mansion, Pleasant Home and the Conservatory are wonderful local places that host weddings with our tents, dance floors, tables and chairs.”

DEEP ROOTS PROJECT:

Sustainability one yard at a time

By Lacey Sikora

W

Contributing Reporter

hen spring arrives, everyone wants to be outside in their own little patch of green space but not everyone thinks about just how green that space really is.

Deep Roots Project aims to change that, one yard at a time. Managing Director David Murphy notes that Deep Roots Project got its start with the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation’s Big Idea contest.

Although the project didn’t win, Murphy says it has gained momentum.

“The idea is to foster good environmental stewardship while educating people about

the dangers of herbicides and chemicals and while encouraging people to create sustainable or edible gardens in their yards.”

Murphy has observed that once people start to grow things outside of their own homes, a connection is made between being healthy on a personal level and being a healthy community. Deep Roots Project is also managed by Estelle Carol and Willie Schreiber, and partners with Dig Right In, KaliKalé and Sugar Beet Schoolhouse.

Sugar Beet’s Cheryl Munoz says that the partnership was a natural fit given Sugar Beet’s emphasis on sustainable gardens in Oak Park, River Forest, Austin and Forest See DEEP ROOTS PROJECT on page B13

DEEP ROOTS PROJECT

Sustainabiliy one yard at a time from page B11 Park. “We are hosting our 6th annual Edible Garden Tour this summer on July 29, which is all about showcasing how people in the community are good stewards of their property.”

Munoz points to the fact that soil health is key to a healthy environment. “Part of the Big Idea was to get people to reconsider how they look at their lawns and hire one of our partners to create a lawn that would not only benefit homeowners but the community as a whole.”

Noting that traditional chemicals used to create a green lawn can have negative effects for plant and human health, as well as devastating consequences for our waterways, Munoz says that you can still have your green lawn and thriving plants with safer alternatives.

Murphy hopes that people will turn to the Deep Roots Project as a community resource. Partner Dig Right In, owned by Jeff Swano, provides sustainable landscaping and edible gardening services, and Daniel Price’s KaliKalé provides edible gardening services.

As Deep Roots Project begins to introduce itself to the community they will have a table at Oak Park’s Earth Fest on April 22 and will offer two free community workshops: Sunday, April 30th 1 - 3 PM - Agroforestry; Planting Multiple Species for BioDiversity and Soil Health led by DRP Member, Daniel Price (of KaliKalé), Location TBD (in Oak Park) Sunday, May 7th. from 1- 3 PM - Best Organic Lawn Care

Pleasant Home welcomes spring

By Lacey Sikora

T

Contributing Reporter

he Pleasant Home in Oak Park is kicking off spring by opening its doors and its yard for a variety of events. Executive Director, Heide Ruehle-May is excited about changes in programming as well as a continuation of annual favorites.

On April 27, the Pleasant Home will host a book signing in partnership with the Book Table. Author Emilie Lucchesi will read from and sign her book, Ugly Prey: An Innocent Woman and the Death Sentence that Scandalized Jazz Age Chicago.

Beginning May 1, the Pleasant Home will offer self-guided tours of the national landmark home. Ruehle-May notes this change will enable more visitors to enjoy the home. “Not everyone has time for a docent-led tour. The self-guided tours will be offered more frequently and are based on a scavenger hunt theme, which will take people throughout the house.”

On May 11, the Pleasant Home will host the second in a yearly course of three lectures at the Oak Park Main Library. During the May lecture, Doug Deuchler will give a talk entitled “Servants in Our Village: 1880-1940.” Ruehle-May says that each year, the Pleasant Home prepares for its fall housewalk by hosting a series of lectures that tie into the theme of the year’s walk.

PLEASANT HOME Welcomes spring from page B15 “We try to focus our walks on a special theme every year. This year, our theme is coach houses, which often housed the servant class in the early days of the village.”

The lecture series takes place in partnership with the Oak Park Public Library, and the last date in the series will take place in September.

On June 24, Pleasant Home will hold its annual June Revel fundraiser. Each year, the theme of the fundraiser is tied to the era of the home, and this year’s theme is a fern extravaganza. The Victorian rage for the potted plants extended from décor to medicinal uses for ferns and nature hikes to discover new varieties. The June Revel begins at 7 p.m. and includes food, drinks, entertainment and a silent auction.

As always, spring and summer are also peak season for weddings and family gatherings at the Pleasant Home. Ruehle-May says that the warmer months are a great time to enjoy the house, the porch and the lovely grounds. “We love to host weddings and are also available for corporate meetings and other local gatherings.”

For more information on the Pleasant Home’s schedule of events, visit: www.pleasanthome.org
