Healey notes that party time might be a good time to consider doing some planting of smaller shrubs. Add azaleas or rhodies, for example, for color. Or, blend in plants for both foliage and texture. Since guests don't like to be kept in the dark about party fun, lighting is often a factor when planning an outdoor party. There are so many different outdoor lighting options available now.
Torches are good choices, since they can be placed just about anywhere, and can be moved as needed.
Citronella is one choice. Bug zappers, though effective, emit a sound that might be disruptive in a party setting. Webmaster for News is Ken Bilderback . Columbian Publishing Co. P.O.
