Raised flower beds provide an easy gardening platform with multiple options
for growing vegetables as well as fruits during different growing seasons.

home décor and the
chance to nurture life.
People are also plant-
ing fruit trees, such as
apples and Asian pears,
and berries of all types.
“These are things that
are growing now and
will come back year after
year,” Walter-Sedlacek
said. “Planting a fruit
tree now gives them
fruit for tomorrow.”
She said that people
may not get a big crop
their first year, or even
their second, but the
third year should have a
fruitful harvest.
“I think people right
now desire that perma-
nency of planting now
and getting fruit later,”
Walter-Sedlacek said.
She added that this
thought is a big reason
behind Arbor Day, cele-
brated nationally each
April.
“Arbor Day is all
about planting a tree
today for your grand-
children’s shade tomor-
row,” Walter-Sedlacek
said. “I think people in
Florence already realize
how important plants
are on a daily basis.”
In fact, so many peo-
ple wanted to purchase
plants or plant-care
items from Laurel Bay

Change-Up Your
Workout
You may find yourself
in a rut with either the
same old workout rou-
tine...or no routine at
all. If you’ve got the
stay-at-home
blues,
both you and your pet
can greatly benefit from
some type of physical
activity.
To mix it up a bit, on
your next walk, practice
some walking lunges.
You can do this up and
down your driveway, in
your lawn, or down the
street. Or, how about
some Doga (dog yoga)?
Grab your mat, your
pooch and head out-
side. Practice your
downward dog while he
practices his.
Another sure fire way
to beat the stay-at-home
blues is to dance! Dogs
are natural dancers —
even though they have
two left feet.
Crank up your favor-
ite tunes and just dance.

hope we can help the
community find com-

thoughts on their gar-

better way than to plant
a radish seed?”
