Garden and greenhouse site offers tools and advice

Garden and greenhouse enthusiasts who are spending their downtime over the festive period looking for things to enhance their green space may be interested in CornerstoneYardAndGarden.com.

Founded by Wyoming native Debra Yeik, the site includes a range of decorations for the garden, as well as hints and tips on specific techniques.

Ms Yeik started the online resource earlier this year to promote the enjoyment of horticulture – which is something she feels in underrated in modern day America.

“When people drive up to your house, it‘s the first impression they get of your home,” she explained.

“I‘ve lived on the same property all of my life and my neighbours and I pride ourselves on maintaining a beautiful and well-kept yard.”

As well as hints and tips, the site offers birdhouses, birdbaths, solar lights, trellises, arbors, statues, stepping stones and Whitehall mailboxes.

Planters, potholders, plants and flowers are also available with each specimen coming with its own care instructions.

Meanwhile, Fort Wayne News Sentinel has suggested that garden and greenhouse enthusiasts who wish to use holly from their own garden next Christmas should plan ahead now.
