On Monday night we were able to meet with a lot of homeowners and businesses from the soon to be city of Peachtree Corners. The event was held by the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association. The goal of the night was encouraging and educating folks to get outside and improve their curb appeal with landscape design. It was a perfect fit for us.
It was a fun night. Mickey Gazaway from Pike Nursery was there. She talked for about 30 minutes about some specific flower and plant strategies. She is a plant professional associate with Pike and encouraged all to “Kick it up a Notch” when considering plants in your landscape.
We got the opportunity to talk to several folks about the differences between Big Green Egg and Traeger smokers. We also got to show off the STIHL KombiSystem which is perfect for home owners who want more versatile power equipment that is better than they can get at Home Depot or Lowes.
In fact, the night really was a win for small business. It was well represented by local businesses in the area.

It can be a big stress relief.- Sonny’s Outdoor Works are actually one of our commercial landscape customers. He comes into our Doraville store a lot.
