I
have some good stuff for you in this month's newsletter; everything
from what you can do to encourage bees and other pollinators to
boosting your brain power and jumping into the social media pool with
Gardening Graces. Who knows, the couple minutes you spend with me might
just make you a super smart friend of bees who just happens to have
their own Facebook page!
And a thankful shout out to those of you who have already become fans!

Save Our Pollinators Here It Is
 Last
month I told you I would present a video made right here in Washtenaw
County Michigan that will no doubt have you cheerleading for bees. The
video includes children which always makes for a better product in my
opinion. Just a little heads up; one little girl steals the show. She
actually closes out the video lending a charm that cannot be duplicated
and leaving a smile on your face. Watch here.
Habitat
loss, pesticide use and disease have taken a big toll on the creatures
that pollinate our flowers and edible crops. Some of you have
requested that we include pollinator friendly plants in our work. Great
idea! Please consider this if you haven't already.
We would love to assist you in this worthy cause. You can request our help by calling us at 734 482-8230.
Click here to get more information about pollinators and download a free "Pollinator
Friendly Planting Guide". It's as easy as typing in your zip code.

Thanks again for letting me share your time. But wait!
What about boosting your brain power? Ok, here it is. You will all be
smarter after this and you can thank me if you want to later.
Michael Berman, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Michigan, documented a boost in brainpower in study participants after sending them on hour long walks. As an added bonus, this activity also increased attention capacity. But it only worked when they walked in parks and other natural environments, not while strolling down busy streets.
Call now and let us help make your landscape in a beautiful brain rejuvenating oasis.

Bye for now, I'm going for a walk. I hope Dr. Berman is right. After a day like today, I really need it!!
