Speaking from her wood shop in a Cincinnati warehouse, designer Rosie Kovacs
needs to step into a side room to take a phone call. As her and her partner
Hayes Shanesy, who started the furniture and design firm Brush Factory in
Cincinnati in 2009, gear up to release a new line of minimalist furniture, the
shop floor tends to get a little loud.
When they started out, as she explains, they didn’t have a firm handle on
direction; Kovacs, a fashion design major, and Shanesy, an industrial designer,
started a retail store that didn’t work out, then turned to what became a
successful wholesale commercial furniture, grabbing attention nationally for
their line of , such as necklaces and bottle stops made from hardwood.
The duo has been able to realize their desire to create a consumer line
of furniture after winning , a grant program from Cincinnati-based non-profit
ArtWorks. Their forthcoming BFF line (prices will range from $400 to $2,white
outdoor furniture,800 depending on style and finish), which will be
available nationwide via their website starting in May, exudes Shaker influences
along with nods to modern minimalism. The group’s first collection, simple
pieces with a light footprint that are easy to move, is currently limited to
tables and desks, but they plan to expand with new items roughly every six
months. With everything under one roof,furniture outlet stores, Brush Factory can
prototype and implement new concepts relatively quickly. The next step,
introducing seating, and possibly opening a store and a storeroom, are part of
the long-term plans.
"We’re trying to recreate Old Time Colonial vibes with modern styling,"
Kovacs says. "We want furniture buying to be fun and not so serious; it’s in the
name of the line."

I find there’s often some confusion about native, non-native and invasive
plants. Native plants are those that have been around before colonial times.
They have an ecological connection to the place they’re growing. Non-native
plants do not. Most of the flowers sold at garden centers are non-natives. Most
of the classic flowers in our yards (lilacs, peonies, old roses, irises, etc.)
are non-native. And they are lovely. Even though most non-natives do not serve
the local wildlife as well as native plants, they generally do no harm.
Invasive plants, on the other hand, will do harm and should be avoided. An invasive plant has been scientifically determined to damage the environment, economy or human health. Every state has an official list of invasive plants. The one for Pennsylvania can be found .
Penn State Extension lists several common landscaping plants sold at Garden Centers that are on the official state invasive plant list, including:
Invasive Trees:
Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) Bradford Pear (Pyrus calleryana-Bradford)
Invasive Shrubs
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii) Butterfly Bush (Buddleia species) Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) Winged Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) Privet (Ligustrum species) Exotic Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera species)
Invasive Vines
Oriental Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) English Ivy (Hedera helix) Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)
Invasive Herbaceous
Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) Crown Vetch (Coronilla varia)
The spotted lanternfly is an invasive insect known to be established in Eastern Berks County and portions of Montgomery, Bucks and Chester Counties. This insect has potential to severely impact a number of agricultural commodities. Attempts are being made to eradicate this insect in the affected area.
Residents of municipalities included in the quarantine are encouraged to sign up as volunteers to band trees to trap and destroy this insect on their property. To participate, you must own property with a confirmed population of spotted lanternfly, and have Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) trees. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) crews will service other targeted properties where volunteers are not available.
Penn State Extension, in cooperation with the PDA, and the United States Department of Agriculture is offering three opportunities to train volunteers.
What is involved?
Interested residents must attend one training session to participate in the banding program.
Participants must agree to hang sticky bands on a number of Ailanthus trees on their property, service these bands every two weeks from May through December, and enter results into an on-line database. The estimated time to service a single band, count, and enter data is 15-20 minutes every two weeks. Five bands could take about an hour. The number of trees banded will vary depending on the availability of equipment and time commitment of the volunteer.
Participants must agree to schedule pick-up of spent bands for proper disposal by PDA crew members or other volunteers.
Three training sessions for potential volunteers are scheduled:
Friday,garden furniture, April 29, 2016: 10 a.m. – 12 noon at the District Township office, 202 Weil Road, Boyertown, PA
Saturday, April 30, 2016: 10 a.m. – 12 noon at the District Township office, 202 Weil Road, Boyertown, PA
Friday, May 6, 2016: 10 a.m. – 12 noon at the Upper Hanover Township office, 1704 Pillsbury Road, East Greenville, PA
Call the Penn State Extension office in Lehigh County at 610-391-9840 or email your name, address and phone number to to register for a training session.
What is provided?
Training: At the training sessions, volunteers will be shown how to identify target hosts of spotted lanternfly, how to identify spotted lanternfly, how to band trees, how to accurately count specimens on a tree band, and how to enter their results into the online database.
Equipment: Equipment is limited, so targeting of infested properties is essential for the success of the program. These properties will receive top priority. Provided equipment includes rolls of tree bands, push pins, trap labels, and trash bags.
Support: Field survey crews will begin employment with PDA and be assigned to specific areas. These crews will be available to assist with site assessment, initial band deployment, initial insect identification, waste disposal and biosecurity, and covering services if needed. Volunteers should expect regular contact from the PDA crew assigned to their area.

Black spot is a fungal disease that causes spots on rose leaves, eventually causing the leaves to turn yellow and drop off.
Like most fungal diseases, black spot thrives in wet, humid weather, usually when temperatures are in the mid-70s. The fungal spores can survive the winter in fallen leaves and infected canes.
Prevention is the first and best line of defense. Remove infected canes and leaf litter. Fungus spores need water on the leaf to germinate. So taking steps to make sure rose bushes dry quickly is important. Roses should be planted in areas with plenty of sunlight and good circulation. Prune roses to improve air flow.
If you see black spot disease developing, begin treatment early to gain control. Stan V. Griep of the American Rose Society, wrote , that he likes to use Green Cure as his main fungicidal spraying product, which is earth friendly and effective. He also recommends neem oil.
You can also plant rose cultivars resistant to black spot. Penn State Extension recommends the following cultivars: David Thompson, Bebe Lune, Coronado, Ernest H. Morse, Fortyniner, Grand Opera, Lucy Cromphorn, Sphinx, Tiara, Carefree Beauty, and Simplicity are considered resistant. Teas, hybrid teas, hybrid pertetuals, Pernetianas, Austrian briers, and polyanthas are usually very susceptible while rugosa hybrids, moss roses, and wichuraianas are more resistant. The American Rose Society recommends the following varieties as resistant: Bride s Dream, Canadian, White Star, Cary Grant, Dainty Bess, Duet, Electron, Elina, Elizabeth Taylor, Helmut Schmidt, Keepsake, Lady, Lady Rose, Lady X, Las Vegas, Mikado, Nantucket, Olympiad, Otto Miller, Pascale, Polarstern, Precious Platinum,furniture outlet stores, Princess of Manaco, Pristine, Sheer Bliss, Sunbright, Tansinnroh, and Uncle Joe.

Deer are charming to see, especially with their fawns in the spring – that is, as long as they aren’t munching all the plants in your yard.
There are some things you can do to keep them at a safe and pleasing distance.
Deer don’t like scented plants. This includes most any herb, plants in the mint family, garlic, onions and others. Some people will plant certain mints at the border of their property to keep deer out. One to consider is Meehan’s mint. This is a low growing ground cover that isn’t as aggressive as other mints. It’s a great plant to insert into your flower gardens. There’s also mountain mint, which is a more aggressive variety. I’ve seen people use it as a kind of border hedge (it gets several feet tall). When planted in the shade, it behaves itself pretty well and doesn’t spread as much. It’s a good deterrent for deer not only because of its scent but also because it’s tall and deer tend not want to walk through taller plants. Another strategy is to plant herbs (or onions and garlic) around plants you’re trying to protect from the deer.
Aside from fragrant plants, other deer repellents can be effective, but often require repeated application. Many repellents may not be suitable for the home garden because of odor. Most homeowners prefer to use ammonium soaps and/or human hair. Human hair can be obtained from a local barbershop. It can be scattered in the garden bed and also placed in small bags (cloth or plastic--if plastic is used, punch three to four holes in the bottom). Hang them around the garden or individually in trees. Soap bars can be placed in individual trees. Place these items about 30 inches off the ground, about the average height of a deer. More extensive info on deer repellants can be found .
Fencing deer also works well, but it’s an expensive option, given that the best fences for deer are eight feet high. Still, it’s effective and long lasting, and requires little maintenance. Dogs also keep deer away.
If none of these strategies work for you,buy outdoor furniture, a handy lists of garden plants that deer tend not eat.
All that said, if deer are hungry enough (like during a severe winter), not much deters them. But these ideas should help a lot in an average year.
Please feel free to share other tips that have worked for you!

Many people are familiar with picking and eating wild blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
But it’s interesting that so few know about the berries on Shadbush. Shadbush is a small tree native to our local forest, also known as Serviceberry and Juneberry. Amelanchier is its Latin name. It gets the name shadbush because it blooms when the shad are running in the rivers. (Shad live in seawater and return to fresh water in April to breed. Right now the shadbush are about to bloom and the shad fishermen are out on the river.)
The berries are ready to pick in June, thus the Juneberry name. The ‘berry’ isn’t technically a berry but a pome. (Shadbush belongs to the rose family, as do apples.)
Many species of Amelanchier are native to much of the eastern and western parts of the country. In our area, Amelanchier Canadensis is one of the best for fruit.
The fruit most resembles a large blueberry. They are delicious. When ripe, the berries are dark-red, almost purplish. They have small, soft seeds, which can be eaten (they have a slightly almond flavor which adds to the deliciousness). The fruit is wonderful straight from the tree. They can also be used in any berry recipe, but it’s best to cook them first with a little sugar.
Aside from the benefits of the fruit, the shadbush is a wonderful addition to any yard with room for a tree. It’s easy to grow and is often used by landscapers as an ornamental tree. A mature tree reaches about 15-30 tall. It features showy, slightly fragrant, white flowers in April. Its green leaves turn orange-red in autumn. So it’s beautiful in all seasons.

furniture outlet stores, who was a drummer for the band Camden in the time
"Karmic" may be as well strong of a word to describe the friendship between
Rachel Allen and , but they may well have some type of coincidental
connection.
Originally, the two met in 1999 at a Benjamins concert at the now-defunct Globe. In the time, Allen was a 17-year-old living in West Allis, but she definitely wanted to find out her friends' pop / punk band at the North Avenue venue, so she asked her dad to take her. And he did.
"My dad is awesome. He was the 'dad in the East Side,'" says Allen. "He and I have constantly had music in typical."
Zimmerman,furniture outlet stores, who was a drummer for the band Camden in the time, stopped in to view the show, too.
"The Globe was a clubhouse for musicians," says Zimmerman. "Our pals were the bartenders, our friends were the bands."
During the concert, Zimmerman met and conversed with Allen along with the two continued to run into one another by way of music and mutual good friends for the subsequent decade. When Allen took a job at Sabbatic,wholesale furniture outlet, 700 S. 2nd St., she began to view Zimmerman regularly and their friendship deepened.
Unfortunately, as Allen says, "stupid sh-t occurs in pairs" and such was the case this past March beginning when Zimmerman who's a tour manager for musician Eric Benet believed he was getting complications from asthma.
He sooner or later went to the ER at Colombia-St. Mary's, expecting to be in the hospital for a handful of hours. Turns out, Zimmerman had pneumonia and so much liquid around his right lung that he necessary to undergo surgery.
"I was within the hospital for two weeks," says Zimmerman.
A couple of days later, Allen went to see a medical professional due to the fact she believed she had stomach flu. As an alternative, she discovered out she had cancer in her intestines. Allen was admitted to Elmbrook Memorial Hospital and underwent surgery.
Both Zimmerman and Allen had been shocked by the severity of their illnesses and while within the hospital, the two had been texting one another as their mutual close friends split their time in between bedsides.
"Michelle (Hoff) would come here and knit and friends like Libby (Merline) would go between spending time with me and Biju," says Allen. "In common, I was overwhelmed by the love and assistance from people today. I believed the majority of my friends would say, 'see ya in six weeks' after they identified out I was sick, but instead, they have been f-cking remarkable. Casseroles, calls, presents of aid."
Most of Zimmerman's and Allen's close friends are connected to what they refer to as "The Block" a handful of block radius around 2nd Street in Walker's Point with Sabbatic and Tin Widow, the bar across the street, arguably at the heart of your Block.
"There is something definitely cool and supportive regarding the folks right here. Milwaukee needs additional of this," says Allen.
Zimmerman has lived and hung out around the Block for 10 years.
"My buddy Diane (Dowland) initially named it 'Biju's Block,'" says Zimmerman. "It was kind of a joke on me, due to the fact by way of my job I travel all worldwide, but when I'm at residence, I normally remain around precisely the same two or 3 blocks."
Recently, to contribute to Allen's and Zimmerman's medical bills, close friends planned a fundraising party, aptly named, ""
The event requires spot on Sunday, June 21 from two to 10 p.m. at Sabbatic and Tin Widow.
"Not only do proceeds go to assist two amazing people I'm fortunate adequate to get in touch with my buddies, there is a excellent line-up of musicians, amazing bartenders and seriously cool raffle prizes," says co-organizer of the occasion, and co-owner of Tin Widow, .
More than 15 bands and DJs will play half-hour sets, like the debut of PYRITE featuring members of GGOOLLDD and Boy Blue in conjunction with Human Soon after All, Bobby Flowers (the singer from Zimmerman's former band,quality garden furniture, Carolina), Whiskey in the Damned, Evan Christian, DJ Paul H, DJ Freshluggage and .
The occasion will include things like a raffle with prizes ranging from flying lessons to present cards from Milwaukee Boat Line, Milwaukee Courier, Burnhearts, Goodkind, Tonic Tavern, M Salon and much more. Pabst and Tullamore Dew are event sponsors.
Bratwurst and hotdogs will be served at four p.m. by Chef Frank and Todd Allen, Rachel's dad.
"This occasion is happening because our close friends are so great. We would in no way possess a fundraiser for ourselves, but we're super appreciative they wanted to perform this for us," says Zimmerman. "This is why we like Milwaukee; why we enjoy The Block."

You can, therefore, use these products comfortably without worry all day long in your outdoor hours.
The garden chairs are made from aluminum material. We choose aluminum in our products for the reasons below:

What to Consider When Buying Furniture From Gardenart
With the right accessories and furniture, you can turn your garden to be your favorite space. Deciding on the reliable style for your garden and furnishing will be a determinant of how your results will be. By consulting Gardenart, this could be one of the easiest plan/renovation you have made. Tips to get you the best product;
1. Space
How small or large is your garden? The size will significantly determine the type of furniture that you will purchase and its size. Choose the furniture that will fit in your garden. Remember that the Gardenart has a variety of sizes that can fit in your compound.
2. Storage of the furniture
You should also consider the storage of the product. If you do not have adequate space to store your furniture, consider those that can withstand all weather conditions. Aluminum used by the Gardenart will give you this. The furniture that we sell you can withstand all weather conditions, thus you do not have to worry about the furniture being affected by climate.
3. Consider your budget
This is one of the most important factor that you need to find. How much are you willing to spend in purchasing the furniture? The figure that you already have in mind will determine the quality, kind, and quantity of furniture that you will purchase. Having formulated a budget already, you can start looking for the best offers in our firm and then select only the furniture that you can afford.
4. Make Comfort Always A Priority
The way your garden is set up can significantly affect how you will feel spending your time there. A comfortable garden means that you will get time to relax and relieve your body from stress. To keep the creative juices flowing, get dining table furniture which will make you feel cosy and comfortable, all asleep on a couch; instead, you can get a couch.
5. Colour Matters
Our brains take cues from colours. Even though blue is your favourite colour, it is also not recommended that you paint every hotel furniture in your bright garden crimson. While we may have physiological reactions to specific colours (for a majority of people, red make the heart and pulse increase). Other people may also react to certain colours because of memories or experiences.
When choosing a colour for your garden s furniture chose one that has a calming effect. These colours include gray or blue. You can also go for accent colours such as yellow which will bring life to your garden.
6. Minimal D cor is Much Better.
Less decorations are way much better. If you keep your d cor at a minimum, you will find that d cor is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
7. Know Your Wood types
Furniture made from wood falls in three different categories: neneers, solid wood, and composite, or practice board. Solid wood is typically pricier when compared to other wood types, and it looks great. However, they are vulnerable to water rings and scratches. Veneers have a cheap wood base protected by thin layers of better-quality wood. Composite wood and particle board pieces are built from a combination of both resin, plastics, and wood pulp. Basically, they are the scraps of the world of furniture.
8. Avoid glue and nails
Search for wood that have been joined at corners and ends, not glued, or nailed. These are known in the manufacturing world as wood joinery. These pieces are heavier and can add the overall weight of the furniture.
9. Inspect the legs
The legs of the furniture must be heavy, wood, and fixed to the frame of the sofa or chair. Metallic, rubber and plastic legs do not look very appealing, however, select furniture with legs that will last long.

If you have been looking for a place where you can purchase furniture that are of good quality and at reasonable prices, look no more. Gardenart is here to fulfil all your furniture needs. To make orders or for general inquiries do not hesitate to contact our support staff.
