A 2012 Great Plant Picks<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
I\u2019m proud to announce that LCN Selections\u00a0Golden Ruby\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0dwarf variegated barberry is one of the\u00a02012 Great Plant Picks<\/a>!<\/div>\n
\"Great<\/a>Great Plants Picks\u00a0is an educational program of the\u00a0Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden<\/a>\u00a0which, since 2001 has made recommendations of outstanding\u00a0 plants for the maritime Pacific Northwest.\u00a0Over 800 exceptional plants have been selected for gardeners living west of the Cascade Mountains from Eugene, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia.<\/p>\n

Golden Ruby was also honored in 2009 when it took \u2018Best of Show\u2019 in the New Varieties Showcase at the\u00a0FarWest Trade Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I lovingly refer to Mr. Bowling Ball\u00ae, as a \u2018plant for gardening dummies\u2019 because even brown thumb gardeners can be successful with it!\u00a0This plant forms a perfect 2 \u00bd\u2019 ball with no shearing.
Mr. Bowling Ball has attractive, finely textured sage-green foliage that looks more like a fine needled Juniper or Chamaecyparis.<\/p>\n

Unlike other globe arbs it is more soft and flexible and does not break open under heave snow loads (we live in the NE Ohio snow belt so it has\u00a0been well tested).\u00a0Useful as a single plant or in a group, it is an ideal landscape foundation or rock garden plant in particular for smaller spaces. \u00a0It can also be trimmed to form a low hedge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An 80 Year Milestone<\/strong>
\"JimI would like to take this opportunity to wish my father Jim Zampini, who is my best friend, mentor and business partner, a happy birthday!<\/p>\n

Dad turns 80 on Tuesday, February 28th. He and my brother Joe Zampini actually share the same birth date.<\/p>\n

Happy birthday Jim and Joe and many more!<\/p>\n

Sustainable
New Product<\/span><\/h4>\n
There is always something new at the trade shows and here is one product line that really appealed to me:<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

This company recycles and repurposes flat tires into baskets, entrance mats, pot lifts and totes.\u00a0
Their baskets make great plant pots.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness of recycled scrap tires ensures that no two products will ever be identical.<\/p>\n

Best of all\u00a0they are\u00a0made in the good ‘ol USA – in part by disabled workers – providing them with a sense of purpose and self-esteem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
