Right now the cypress mulch industry is destroying wetlands that protect coastal Louisiana from hurricanes. The article is online at: http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2008/03/louisianas-mulch-madness.html Waterkeeper has been working with Dean and organizations across the Gulf Coast to save our cypress forests. We’ve made great progress. In June 2007, more than 200 Louisiana cities, universities, churches and other organizations pledged to stop using cypress mulch. Month later, Wal-Mart and Lowes announced they would stop or limit buying and selling cypress mulch from Louisiana. This is a great start but the threat remains. We have a long way to go to stop the mulching of the nation’s coastal wetland forests. Our gardeners hold the key. We believe that gardeners must know the truth about cypress mulch, and will stop using cypress mulch when presented with the facts. Again, thank you for your help spreading the word: Say NO to Cypress Mulch. I am also happy to provide more information for you.

Thank you for your compliments. I do need to clarify though, I have not yet quit my day job. I hope the day will come when I am able to do that, but for now, I work at two jobs. Which is why I don't post more often I suppose :-). Native American Seed is a great source of grass and wildflower seeds that are native to the Texas hill country! Thanks for stopping by.

I just wanted to say I love your website and the fact that you quit a "normal" job to pursue your dream. I'm a former nursery manager, and I like Seeds of Change line, too. And I saw Native American Seed is an advertiser; those guys are the best stewards of our land! Please keep up the great site! Hello from a neighbor in Austin!

Hampir selama setahun ini di negara saya sedang tren tanaman hias jenis anthurium yang berharga mahal sekali. banyak orang menjadi kaya mendadak akibat mengikuti bisnis ini, namun ada juga orang yang menjadi miskin mendadak karena kurang cermat dalam mengikuti bisnis ini.

Hampir selama setahun ini di negara saya sedang tren tanaman hias jenis anthurium yang berharga mahal sekali. banyak orang menjadi kaya mendadak akibat mengikuti bisnis ini, namun ada juga orang yang menjadi miskin mendadak karena kurang cermat dalam mengikuti bisnis ini.

I did Google "anthurium seeds" and it looks like there might be a few sources out there, but not many. I hope you find what you are looking for. Cheers.
