Here's ALL the scoop

Where:
Outside the garden center under the tent
New Tampa Lowe's Store (#1003)
6201 Commerce Palms Dr.
Tampa 33647

When:

A Troy-Bilt representative will be there with products available to test run and I'll be on hand to answer gardening questions. Sound like fun?

All we need is YOU to join us and make the day a success!



In the future, as part of the Saturday6, you can look forward to my review of Troy Bilt products, give-away offers, and gardening articles written for Troy Bilt's newsletter, The Dirt.

As backyard gardeners just like you the Saturday6 team will do our best to help you love getting the most from your Saturdays spent in the garden.

Recently all of us met together in Cleveland, Ohio where we were given a tour of the still-family-owned Troy-Bilt headquarters. It was a fascinating experience getting to hear from the employees and see how they implement the company philosophy with the customer foremost in mind.

More to come on that fabulous trip later.

I hope to see you Saturday.
