<p>I am so excited to announce that  in a few weeks we will be offering lots of  garden and craft classes.</p>
<p> We are also adding a small nursery with unusual plants and stuff for the garden, my sis, Melissa will be lending a helping hand in the garden.</p>
<p>This week we moved the new barn and we are painting it purple this weekend and adding a chandelier.</p>
<p> Next is our hoty toty chicken coop! Stacy, our cowgirl, will be running that section &#8211;</p>
<p> Amanda and  I will have a larger space to sit and design gardens for clients and Cecilia will now have two phones to answer&#8211; we are just one happy family &#8211;stop by and say hello!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We saw this cute potting bench at Lisa's house and we have to make one for ourselves... and of course for all our friends! We have decided the best way to share is to teach a class. Look for postings for our spring garden classes or sign up on our website and will mail you a listing shortly!]]></description>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.alfordsenglishgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC04936web.JPG"><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1029" title="DSC04936web" src="http://www.alfordsenglishgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC04936web.JPG" alt="DSC04936web" width="448" height="336" /></a></strong></p>

<p>Make your garden work hard for you by <strong>double</strong> <strong>duty planting</strong> in the garden.  Save water, time and money while adding a beautiful spot to the garden.</p>
<p><strong>USE HERBS AND VEGGIES AS FILLERS IN THE GARDEN                                                                                                 </strong> Herbs and veggies can blend in with most gardens-plant in between other perennials to save space and water!A lot of herbs and veggies are pretty! Add them into the landscape for texture and color-Break some rules and use herbs and veggies as part of the design- blueberries make a great hedge!</p>
<p> <strong>SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH A KITCHEN GARDEN                                                                                                          </strong>Find a easy to access area near the back door of your home or a spot that you can go and grab  a herb for cooking  Add a garden in a small place on unused side yard  </p>
<p><strong>PLANT A POT BY THE BACK DOOR FOR COLOR AND CONVEINCE                                                                              </strong> Use herbs in pots to dress up the back porch- mix with annual color  Pot up some lettuce and place in the garden-keep it at the back door when ready to plant for a quick salad</p>
<p> Don’t have a yard – pots work well in part shade to full sun- add herbs to the entrance – nothing smells better than a whiff of rosemary or lavender.</p>
