This week at Patio: seminars + custom containers

WOW what a great week at Patio! We met a lot of great new customers, including nearly 150 people at our Spring Kickoff on First Friday. Thanks to everyone who came, and if you couldn't make it, you missed a fun night. We had beautiful weather, great music from Java Jazz and tasty bruschetta from our new wood-fired pizza oven. Check out what's coming up now:

Free paver installation seminar tonight

If you're planning a new concrete paver patio, walkway or driveway this year, you should consider attending tonight's free seminar on do-it-yourself intallation of EP Henry concrete pavers. The presentation starts at 6pm, and will be led by Andy Herr from Penn Stone with installation techniques demonstrated by Kilgore Landcaping . We'll discuss excavation, installation of base material, and the placement of pavers and edge restraint. This is a great opportunity to understand the critical steps in a successful installation of concrete pavers.

In addition to tonight's event we have a full schedule planned through July including more paver seminars as well as presentations on retaining wall construction, container gardening, composting, and outdoor cooking & grilling. Visit our calendar for the full schedule or our events page to register for upcoming events.

Order custom containers now

Van Binkley from Tudbinks says that one secret to beautiful container gardening is to choose a great planter. We have some beautiful planters and urns in stock, but we also work with many customers to special-order the perfect piece from Campania. Featuring stunning glazes and cast-stone containers in your choice of colors, Campania offers something to suit every style.

Especially if you're coming to Van's seminar on April 28, now is a great time to order to be sure that you're ready to plant as soon as warm weather is here to stay.
