Every Gardener's Friend
April 2004
Karen Hull, Johnson's East Greenhouse Manager

    Austram Planters are every gardener's friend. They are a beautiful
way to display your blooms this spring and summer. They are ideal for
porches, patios and window boxes. All Austram Planters are lined with
CocoMoss. CocoMoss is made of the natural coconut fiber found between
the soft outer shell and the hard inner shell of the coconut. This liner
is resistant to insect infestation and disease. Another advantage of
this liner is the consistent thickness eliminating any "bald spots"
that could result in soil loss. This liner allows your plants to breathe
causing better root development. CocoMoss liners have the ability to
hold moisture, while letting excess water drain through. These liners
are re-usable and convenient. We also have the CocoMoss liner by the
foot in 2-3 ft. widths to use in your own planters.

    We have a really good selection of Austram Planters. There are also
some new styles, the Euro and Queen Anne Collections are beautiful--a
good choice for any decor. If you are not familiar with the CocoMoss
liner or Austram Planters, come in and check it out.
