If you’re a gardener, you know that working the dirt is only part of creating a beautiful outdoor environment. Hardscaping—decks, patios, pergolas, and walkways—provides a showcase for your landscaping, with its rich color and texture. Both elements add up to comfortable, beautiful outdoor spaces that work almost like rooms inside your house.

We have recently changed our name to Lowe’s Creative Ideas for Outdoor Living to reflect that relationship. You’ll still see nuts-and-bolts gardening information, but we’ll also include stories on outdoor decorating and entertaining.

I hope you enjoy everything that this refreshed newsletter offers to enrich your life outdoors. Let us hear from you! Fill out a quick survey at LowesCreativeIdeas.com/OLSurvey, and you’ll have a chance to receive a $100 Lowe’s gift card. Hurry, the survey ends April 11, 2008.
