Lowe's Creative Ideas for Home and Garden has done a lot to get great ideas in the hands of homeowners. They have several online resources packed full with colorful photos,handy tips, and articles.

I represent (Florida) the Gulf Coast for their Lowe's Creative Ideas Regional Gardening Online Articles. It has been an exciting and adventurous endeavor as I've joined an amazing company of writers from around the country.
