2021 The Year Of  The Pergola

1/3/2021

0 Comments

 
2020 produced some of the most stressful and challenging times for us all around the world.
Being able to share living spaces within our home and business environments has become a art form and to be able to find that special 'space' where one can retreat,refresh, and renew has become the new norm.
Outdoor living rooms, additional remote outdoor office spaces, entertainment centers and speciality gardens are being requested and desired to help us relax and renew our spirits and create a positive environment for our family and friends.
By adding a inexpensive patio pergola, you can create a shady spot for those hot and humid summer days ahead. The use of fiberglass as aconstruction material for the pergolas and patio covers have proven themselves worthy of the investment cost when looking at the long term durability, beauty function, energy and resource saving advantages of utilizing fiberglass componets.
Creating sensual gardens with an array of fragrant, locally sourced) plant materials are the hot ticket to comfort and 'Zen' for many residential , business, and assisted and retirement living establishments. The use of aromatic salvia clevelandii, and lavandulas relax the mind and cleanses the soul.
The lacy shade of the acacia trees and forrest green splendor of upright rosemary shrubs releaves one from the hot sun rays and produces columns of woodsy fragrance to that small front yard coffee bustro 'Zen Zone'
Create a peaceful Garden this year as we all shelter in place for just a little while longer God willing and release that stress in our lives which we all deserve less of.
