Green Garden Furniture Alternatives....

| I've recently become incredibly interested in sustainably harvested garden furniture products. Although they are usually more expensive than what you'd find at the big-box retailers, these furniture pieces are classic, lifelong-lasting, and you won't have to replace them every third year! What a great way to show your own green spirit - the prettiest furniture pieces on the block made of sustainably harvested brazilian cherry!
Here's my post, if you're interested, that talks further about sustainably harvested products. Organic gardening does its best to help our earth, but the choices we make as consumers seem just as important.

sounds like advertising, which isn't allowed in the graden web forums - also buying spendy chic products imported fromn
long distances is NOT a 'green' alternative, rather buying locally made products that use locally harvested materials is green you need to rethink your consumer purchases, including not making them, as consumption is exactly the problem Bill |

My lawn furniture comes from furniture sets that others cast off. There are usually one or two pieces still good that I just paint to match and they look great. Then I dont have to visit (shudder) Walmart.
Where I'm sure they would package it all into about 10 extra extra extra extra large plastic bags, then double bag them. LOL
