ing and experience,” says Green. “[Ask] the
same questions you’d ask to find out if you
have a good plumber or landscaper.”
The typical home gardener with a few
tomato plants and a container of petunias can
make out all right using books, the Web and
the local nursery. But for those who have pur-
chased a home with prized ornamental bushes,
for example, just holding a pair of pruners can
induce panic, and winnowing the volume of
information available can be overwhelming.
For the homeowner who doesn’t know which
way is up on a spring bulb or hasn’t got a clue
what the flowering bush in the backyard is,
much less how to prune it, a coach can provide
guidance with the ease of a garden stroll. C

AS WE HEAD into spring, Costco’s
exclusive ceramic planters will bring
a colorful accent to any garden, home
or business, and can be used indoors
or outdoors. Whether placed on a patio,
set along an entryway or nestled into
the garden, planters are an easy and
stylish way to add color. Planters provide a big impact without requiring
an expensive redesign, and plantings
can be permanent or changed with
the seasons.
Each planter, ranging from 21 to
25 inches in height, is handcrafted by
artisans using techniques that have
been handed down for generations
in Vietnam, so no two pieces are
exactly the same. The value we offer
our members is terrific. You will save
between 40 to 70 percent compared
to similar products sold at garden
centers and nurseries.
Over the next couple of months
we will have a variety of styles to
offer, so be on the lookout, because
they will go fast.
