Outdoor Decor

Outdoor decorating has become, in recent years, extremely popular. Homeowners like to make the most of their outdoor spaces. Decorating outdoors is not just limited to patio furniture and a few pots anymore. There are fountains, wall art, statuary, cooking systems (not just the old gas grill), lighting, and more types of pots, planters, arbors and trellis' than one can imagine. Not to mention the furniture.

With the economy in a tailspin, less and less people are taking vacations, and are spending money on their own backyards to create a paradise getaway at home.

Creating a getaway that your family and friends will envy can be fun. The only limits are in your own imagination. If you can think it... it can be. Using products made from renewable and recycled materials adds to the enjoyment of designing your own utopia.

There are thousands of products that are either made from renewable or recycled resources that are strong, beautiful and built to last. Bamboo, rice and coconut hulls make gorgeous planters that are built to last, and they are biodegradable. Whitehall outdoor products are made from 100% recycled aluminum. Polywood furniture is made from Recycled Milk Jugs! It is strong, durable, will never fade and is beautiful to boot.

So, if you are going to be decorating and adorning your yard this year, think about the impact it will have on the environment. The effect the product had during production, how long it will have a place at your home, and what will happen to it after its been discarded. If we stop purchasing products that are destroying the environment during the production process, the manufacturers will be forced into implementing eco-friendly production practices, or risk going out of business. We cannot afford to buy mindlessly anymore, buying something just because it strikes our fancy, can cost more than we ever bargained for.

There are so many unique and beautiful earth friendly products, buying the same old resin pots for your back porch seems like sacrilege.

We at Green Nation Gardens make it a point to offer environmentally responsible products, and drop ship whenever possible to reduce fuel consumption during shipping. Thinking is crucial for success. Success in our personal endeavors, our business and our future. Join the movement to make the future of our planet not only possible, but successful!
