New Product: The Garden Broom

 The Garden Broom is a hand made product from the coconut tree. Once a branch of the tree perishes and falls off it is then harvested and only the midrib is used to create the broom. The product is made in a cottage industry manner by rural folk who would not have many employment opportunities. So not only is the Garden Broom environmentally friendly and recycled but it carries a great social impact in assisting those less fortunate.

The Garden Broom is widely used in Asia and is finally being introduced to Canadians!! All credit goes to my Mom, Fran, who firmly believed that the Garden Broom would work wonders and of course she was right!

Once you try using the broom you will wonder as to how you gardened with out it ~ "Sweeping is Believing".

The Garden Broom was recently discussed by Steve Whysall of the Vancouver Sun in his weekly friday garden column.

The broom is available at Art's Nursery for $29.98. Call ahead to confirm availability as they sell out fast. Come try one out yourself! They are amazing!
