Let's plant a tree - for free!In order to make residents aware of the many benefits of planting trees, Palm Beach County, FL has set up an innovative program to convince home owners to plant more (native) trees in their landscape.
The benefits of planting trees and replenishing our natural canopy's are proven to be beneficial in many ways: from providing shade and eliminating heat spots, improving air quality and safe harbors for our native fauna. Under the program, Palm Beach residents can sign up to receive two, three gallon native plants and receive information on how, when and what to plant There is an annual limit of one plant voucher, redeemable at participating nurseries for two, three-gallon native plants per Palm Beach County household, while funding lasts. More information about the program can be found by clicking here: FNGLA Palm Beach Chapter and Mounts Botanical Garden, Palm Beach County’s oldest and largest botanical garden, will host a Winter Plant Sale on February 6 and 7.

For those of you who like numbers, here are a few: With 6,853 TPIE attendees, TPIE registration increased by 400 -- a solid six percent over last year! Attendees flocked to Fort Lauderdale from no less than 47 states, 6 Canadian provinces and 37 different countries! Interiorscape buyers jumped up by eight percent over last year. Landscape buyers catapulted up by an astounding 24 percent! And, ready for this? The number of retail buyers at TPIE 2020 absolutely exploded by 41 percent! Another phenomenal indicator as to how strong houseplants are as a retail product category throughout the United States.
More big TPIE news: A brand new FNGLA record was set with 729 registrations for the TPIE Road Show and educational workshops! This is a mind-blowing 182 percent increase over last year! More than 600 people packed into the TPIE Opening Session with Max Luthy of TrendWatching reporting on the key trends for 2020 -- and what they mean for interior foliage sales. More than $28,000 was raised for research and scholarships at the National Horticulture Foundation’s annual TPIE reception! Some 400 exhibitors took 850 exhibit booth spaces showcasing houseplants, indoor foliage, tropicals, products and services. Eye-catching merchandise displays and clever marketing ideas were abundant throughout the nearly five-acre TPIE show floor! A BIG tip of FNGLA’s cap goes to our TPIE exhibitors, sponsors, attendees and TPIE Planning Committee for such a truly outstanding show. Mark your calendars for next year’s TPIE- January 20-22, 2021 when TPIE will be in Tampa during the multi-year Broward County Convention Center's expansion construction project. Meet Wilson, our gorgeous Airedale Terrier. The best dog one can get! He loves to rampage trough our yard, enjoys chasing squirrels and tking naps in the shade underneath the cocoanut palm trees. Unfortunately, with happy dog rampage comes happy dog peerage. The acid and nitrogen in Wilson's pee burns the grass and leaves brown dog urine spots all over our combined lawns. There are several chemical and food additive solutions to this problem but my neighbors and I prefer a natural approach. Five organic remedies to repair those brown dog urine burns on your lawn that will not harm you or your dog. 1. Train your dog to potty in one area of your yard. This is easier if you have a female dog because female dogs generally like to piddle in the same place, (so the boy dogs always know where to go to read the girl dog’s pee-mail.) A boy dog might need a little more incentive to potty in one area of your yard. In that case, try using a non-toxic pheromone-treated yard stake to encourage your boy to hit the same spot such as the Simple Solutions Pee Post. I’m a bit of a traditionalist in this regard, I prefer the aesthetic quality of the pee post Fire Hydrant. 2. Hose down the pee spot with enough water to dilute the acid in the urine and wash it away. The downside of this method is that you must use enough water to flush the entire area of urine (female dog urine is more acidic than male dog urine.) I don’t use enough water you’ll only end up diluting the urine spot with water. Then your random brown patches will turn into random dark green patches because the nitrogen in the dog pee has been diluted to the point that it helps your grass instead of burning it. 3. Neutralize the nitrogen with baking soda. This is my preferred method because I don’t have to stalk the dogs in the backyard with a hose waiting for them to pee. Pouring 2 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in a gallon of water on a burn spot neutralizes the concentrated amounts of ammonia and nitrogen that’s in the dog urine and burns the grass. The grass comes back green and healthy and I don’t have to worry about the dogs walking through a yard full of lawn chemicals and possibly ingesting something toxic when they lick their paws. 4. Give your dog a lawn to call their own. One of Wilson’s quirks is that he will only potty on grass. No mulch, clover, or potty pads for my boy! In that case, the PetZoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty may work for him and help me save my tiny lawn.
