I have had a lot of calls lately about wil my new lawn holds it winter colour? For those people getting the Wintergreen couch of course!

Wintergreen is called winter -green for a reason. Firstly because it is a green couch but also because it holds its great green all throughout winter as well as summer. Of the old wintergreen is often palmed off as the ugly little sister that no one wants to take to the ball. But really it is the beautiful draught horse in the paddock that can work hard all day and still look pretty at the end.

Many a school has wintergreen couch in their playgrounds. Many will scoff and say its because its cheap, but its Wintergreen is tough. Wintergreen can handle your jokes, its a robust lawn that can handle just about anything! It can be ripped up by kids boots for footy times, hammered will athletics carnivals, and skipped to dust by those impressive skipping kids, and the next week it will grow back, as green as ever. And even in winter return with its beautiful rich colour. As a front lawn, I have seen some amazing examples of near Bowling green styles (bowling greens are a type of green couch) Lawns. And I have also seen rentals that have teenagers or early 20s occupied dwellings where cars are parked on the lawn, and good old wintergreen spring back to life.

Wintergreen, she is soft to the touch, has a tough inner core, and looks beauiful all year round. Wow. nearly the perfect lady…

Has the cold made you stay inside this week and cuddle up. I know my favorite place this week has been all snuggled up with my kids in front of the fire. And as I type I am making heaps of spelling mistakes as my cold fingers try and find the right keys. THak god for s[ell check.

But one of the best things I really love to do on e a cold winters day(most Sundays now as our Saturdays are full of Sporting activities.)is to sit in my old comfy chair in the sun, inside in the sunlight, read a book and occasionally stare out the window at the green outside. Looking out at the green really does make me feel more peaceful. And it seems I’m not alone. (And not even when I sit down to read. I have 3 children and when I sit down it means that I REALLY want them to sit and play or fight on my lap. It  really doesn’t, but that’s what my kids think).

Research  has shown that people who have a green area to look at feel more at ease and less stressed. That’s why they have large green areas in hospitals, and in parks near large built up areas.

And keeping your lawn green and healthy is not hard in winter. After you install a Coastal Turf Lawn, even in winter, we send along a guide with best tips for optimum lawn health. They are simple easy to follow instructions so you aren’t worried about your lawn, and when its not so cold outside you can go back to enjoying your green lush lawn.

It has turned out that this Saturday has been booked out to Palmetto. All our luck Saturday morning deliveree’s are all getting Palmetto. I don’t think this has ever happened before. Its a bit exciting for Palmetto lovers. It is definitely one of my favs for the shade. Its cool low light personality means that it can take the hard wear from kids playing all day in the shade and still show off its gorgeous green status. And my kids love it too. And so do their friends

Holl had one of her friends over this week and they were desperate all day to get down to what Hollie told her friend was her backyard or farm, to cartwheel like wheels all over the Palmetto Buffalo. I must say that it impressive how many times they could turn without falling over (I counted twice in one go. Not bad for 8 year olds). And I guess the wide open spaces are good, and definitely the Palmetto is great for cushy landings.
