It's the holidays and a wonderful time to decorate with festive houseplants.  Having vibrant blooms during this joyful season will infuse colors, shape and textures.  Just a few of the holiday houseplants that blossom during the holidays are Amaryllis, Christmas Cactus, and of course the favorite Poinsettias.

Just on the heals of the Ogden Canyon Fire, Nordic Valley Firewise presents a free landscaping seminar at 6:30pm on September 13 at Wolf Mountain.

Everyone is welcome to attend but the seminar is specifically designed to help Nordic Valley residents landscape their homes to minimize the risk from fire.  Jerry Goodspeed from Utah State University and the Utah Botanical Gardens will be the speaker.  Most people will be surprised at how attractive and easy to maintain the landscaping is.  The myth that all of your trees must be cut will be dispelled!
