Planning my organic garden is the only way I’m getting through this horrifically cold and snowy winter. While it is beautiful outside, with ice crystals on the tree branches and an unspoiled blanket of snow on my lawn, I am cheered and uplifted by imagining my property in full spring bloom, with brightly-colored organic tulips and organic daffodils clustered around my Morristown property. One thought of bright red spring tulips, and I’m sure my blood pressure drops down.
Among the cheery things I love to envision during these winter months are the outdoor parties my husband and I will host, including birthday parties, summer barbecues, and perhaps we’ll resurrect the neighborhood block parties we’ve heard so much about since we moved in. Someone has to bring those back to life, and we have the perfect property to be the ‘home base’ of our Morristown neighborhood block party. I’m not just talking about our beautiful organic trees and colorful Asian-inspired maples and wispy exotic plants grown from organic seeds. I’m talking also about the fact that our lawn is 100% safe for kids and adults to play and gather on. Our organic pest control products and organic fertilizing methods mean that no small child will be crawling on grass that’s coated with toxins. No one’s dog is going to curl up at their feet, napping in the shade while breathing in pest-killing poisons. And no one’s going to track non-organic particles into our home during the party.
We use The Farm’s organic pest control supplies and organic fertilizers, organic soils, organic seeds and more, so that our lawn and gardens are safe for any being who socializes on our property. As for that neighborhood block party we plan to resurrect? It’s going to be sensational and safe, thanks to the experts at The Farm who helped us pick out the perfect organic garden supplies and – importantly! – gave us the perfect timing and schedules for what to use before people will be on our property!
If you’re having a party of any kind, indoor or outside (because even at indoor parties, people venture out onto your property!), be sure to get your personal organic products recommendations and smart tips at The Farm in Chatham.
