That’s lovely." We all like those attractive pink blossoms, the intricately shaped shrubbery, the tulips that burst from a planter on the sidewalk.

In New York one garden is leading the way. http://www.kokobo.com/news/features/3058.html 2009-05-06T16:02:00-04:00 2009-05-06T16:02:00-04:00 demo KokoBo Plantscapes, Ltd., is proud to announce that it is the recipient of The Associated Landscaper Contractors of America’s (ALCA) Environmental Improvement Award in the category of Residential Design/Build between $25,000-100,000. http://www.kokobo.com/news/features/3057.html 2009-05-06T15:58:00-04:00 2009-05-06T15:58:00-04:00 demo "Up on the Roof" is an urban lament for a little peace from the noise and confusion of the streets, and it’s right there, "smack dab in the middle of town." http://www.kokobo.com/news/features/3056.html 2009-05-06T15:56:00-04:00 2009-05-06T15:56:00-04:00 demo It seems in day-to-day life we are sometimes confined and even defined by square footage!
