“Building Restb.ai into Black Knight’s MLS platform will radically transform how MLS subscribers interact with MLS Listing data. This enhanced AI automation will provide users with a new listing entry experience along with unique visual search capabilities for over 200 MLSs,” Lisa Larson, Restb.ai’s managing director for North America, said in a statement.

Malibu is renowned for its stunning beaches that attract millions of people year-round.

Nestled in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Getty Villa Museum is a must-visit destination for art and history enthusiasts. Showcasing an extensive collection of ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan artifacts, the museum offers a glimpse into the classical world. Wander through the meticulously designed gardens, admire the architecture inspired by ancient Roman villas, and enjoy the educational exhibits. Although admission is free, reserve your tickets in advance to experience this cultural gem.
4. Solstice Canyon
Embark on a scenic hike through Solstice Canyon, a lush oasis filled with oak groves, sycamore trees, and vibrant wildflowers. The Solstice Canyon Loop Trail takes you on a journey to the historic Roberts Ranch House ruins and culminates at the flowing Solstice Canyon waterfall.

This park is perfect for beachcombing, exploring marine life, and enjoying a peaceful day by the ocean. The beautiful coastal views, tide pool discoveries, and opportunities for beach activities make Leo Carrillo State Park an ideal destination for those seeking free outdoor adventures in Malibu.

The historic Malibu Pier stands as an iconic landmark along the coastline. Stroll along the wooden pier and bask in the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s an excellent spot for watching local surfers ride the waves, spotting marine life, and capturing stunning sunset photos. With its free access and inviting atmosphere, the Malibu Pier is a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists.
7. Pepperdine University
If you’re planning where to attend university, take a leisurely walk around the beautiful Pepperdine University campus. The expansive campus is perched atop a hill overlooking the ocean. Enjoy the stunning vistas and serene environment as you explore the well-maintained grounds. The university’s impressive Payson Library and the terrace with sweeping ocean views are open to the public, offering a peaceful retreat to read, study, relax, and appreciate the campus’s natural beauty.
Lamar Odom, former basketball player and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, has put his long-time Miami estate on the market.
He originally bought the property in 2003, just before his first and only season playing for the Miami Heat. Over his 14 season career, he went on to play for the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Mavericks and wed (and divorced) a Kardashian. After all that, it’s no wonder he could use a fresh start.
This 8,557 square foot pad comes with 6 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a media room, a pool and spa, and (of course) a basketball court. All that will set you back $5.2 million.
Virtual is an option for just about everything these days, from doctor’s appointments to school. Many apartment communities have hopped on board this trend with great gusto and are only too happy to show an apartment virtually when needed for prospective residents.
Before the days of Skype, Facetime and such, prospective tenants were left with few options for apartment tours. Either haul over to the apartment community for an in-person tour or sign on the dotted line, sight unseen. Since pictures of units are often misleading, the latter is definitely not an ideal option. Sure, not all tenants wound up disappointed in their rental space, but it’s a safe bet that some weren’t happy come move-in day.
What is a virtual tour of an apartment?
A virtual tour is just that — an apartment tour done virtually by landlords or others in charge. Unlike a live tour or in-person tour, this type uses apps or services like Facetime, Skype, Google Hangouts or Zoom.
A typical rental property also offers a canned video for a prospective tenant to watch online, however, those don’t involve specific units, and instead, focus on the community as a whole. Think of that as more of a “highlight reel,” which shows common areas like the laundry facilities, other amenities and a sample unit. Landlords curate those to show the very best of the community.
Why choose a virtual apartment tour?
The purpose of a virtual apartment tour is to help a prospective tenant lay eyes on the unit and community without actually being there. A video call like this is extra helpful for people who can’t travel to do an in-person showing, but who want to have a good sense of what the community is like before signing a lease. A lot of renters have specific ideas about what they want from a new apartment or rental house, and a virtual tour can help them refine a lengthy list of a few top apartments.
How do you set up a virtual apartment tour?
A few years ago, setting up virtual apartment tours might have been something of a headache, but now it’s ultra easy to view a property. Simply do a Rent. search for the type of apartment that fits your needs. Most apartments have a handy “Schedule Tour” button on their Rent. listing, which serves as a step-by-step guide to getting the appointment set. The blue button is under the property phone number at the top right of the screen when viewing on a computer, or it’s within a white button at the bottom of a phone screen, when looking at it that way.
Common ways to tour apartments
Once you’ve clicked the “Schedule Tour” button, several options will pop up. These can include “Live Video Tour,” “Self-Guided Tour” and “In-Person Tour.” Apartment communities offer some, all or none of these options. Spoiler alert — a self-guided tour, while not terrible, is not the best option for potential renters with lots of questions about the house or apartment. This is why many people choose to take a virtual apartment tour that’s guided by landlords.
Scheduling a virtual tour
If “Live Video Tour” is available, click that option. A calendar should pop up showing the dates and times that virtual tours are available. Select the one that works best for you, fill in your contact information and add the event to your calendar.
How do I prepare for a virtual tour?
Like any other important life decision, it’s important to go into the apartment hunting experience prepared and with both eyes wide open. Once you make the virtual open house appointment, it’s important to prep accordingly. Here are some handy tips to make sure you cover everything.
Develop a list of general areas to “see”
The apartment unit and its floor plan aren’t the only part of the community you’ll want to see. Everything is fair game! Here’s a general list of areas you’ll want to see while on the virtual apartment tour:
Parking situation (deck, lot or street?)
All the amenities (pool, fitness, athletic courts, laundry, doggie run, etc.)
The rental office
Hallways leading to and from the unit in question
Exterior landscaping
Mail pickup and drop-off locations
Garbage disposal areas
The entire floor your prospective unit is on
If any of those are in disrepair it’s a sure bet that the unit itself isn’t properly maintained.
Put together a list of questions for landlords
This one-on-one time with the leasing agent is the ideal opportunity to ask questions, albeit in a virtual environment. Here are some sample questions to work from during virtual tours. A few things might not apply to your situation, but most will.
Tips for virtual tour questions
What are the lease terms?
What fees are you responsible for upon move-in? Are there any monthly fees in addition to rent, like parking costs?
How are rent and other fees paid and when?
Which ones are refundable upon move-out? How do you ensure that this happens?
How much notice must a person give when terminating a lease?
Is any work being done to the unit before move-in, such as carpet cleaning/replacement, painting, appliance repair/replacement, etc.?
What are the pet policies and related fees at the property?
How do tenants request maintenance/repairs for their apartments or building?
How do renters file complaints?
Does the community observe “quiet hours?” How do the landlords enforce them?
What are the policies about painting, nails on the walls and other improvements?
What’s the neighborhood like? How is access to public transportation, and are any businesses within walking distance?
Will the building be repainted or have a new roof installed anytime soon?
Is renters insurance necessary? If so, how much?
Take detailed notes during the tour, as all of this information will start to bleed together if you do multiple virtual tours.
How does a virtual tour work?
At this point, the typical leasing agent has done a lot of these types of tours, so they’ll probably have a process in place. Follow their lead, but don’t hang up from the call without seeing everything or asking all of your questions.
How to do a virtual apartment tour in the unit
At some point, you should explore the entire floor plan of the unit you’re interested in. Start at the base of the building. Move through the hallways and stairwells until you reach the correct floor. You’ll want to know ahead of time if your next-door neighbor plans to leave trash bags or 32 garden gnomes outside their door.
Tour each room
Once at the front door (note the unit number), it’s time to enjoy a full view of the potential new home. Visit all rooms, including bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Note how many windows there are, if the windows are in good repair and how much natural light is coming in at that time of day.
Examine the flooring
Take a close look at the flooring. If it’s carpeted, are there any stains, rips or tears? If so, how will they fix it? Note the other types of floor found in the unit, including laminate hardwoods, tile, etc. They require different cleaning methods.
Look closely at the paint
Next, note the paint in each room. Is it dingy and covered in dings and scuffs? If so, ask if they will repaint. Can you choose the new room color?
Make sure everything’s in working order
In the bathroom and kitchen area, ask the leasing agent to run water from all faucets, so you can gauge how good or bad the water pressure is. Also, make sure all appliances are in working order.
Check out the storage potential
Have the tour guide open up all cabinets and closets in each room, so that you see the storage space. Inquire about additional storage, if needed.
Examine the exterior
Visit the deck or balcony area and note any wood rot, beams that need replacing/painting, the view and so on. Smaller details really make or break an apartment!
Log your concerns
If anything needs repair or replacement in any room, take photos via screenshots and note your concerns. Send them in an email to the leasing agent and find out if they plan to rectify the issues. Once the landlord fixes the issues, ask them to take more photos and keep them on file, if you intend to move forward. A new place doesn’t need perfection but look for clean, fully functional and well maintained.
Virtual tour of the community
Once the prospective apartment has met expectations, it’s time to check out the rest of the rental property. Check off each spot on your list as you “go” there, so that you can see them all. A good property manager is only too happy to walk a wannabe tenant around.
Questions to ask about the community
This is a great time to ask general questions about the community. When does the pool open and close for the season? What hours are the fitness center and laundry facilities operational? When is trash day? That sort of thing.
Make note of anything that looks broken or dingy. Find out when the landlord scheduled any needed repairs. Don’t be afraid to ask property managers to zoom in on certain areas. Many apartments will have some areas that need work, but too much disarray is a warning sign.
Virtual tours are a great starting point
If at all possible, schedule in-person showings once you’ve landed on a few top rental properties. It’s always better to lay eyes directly on an apartment before renting than to rely on the camera work of a person you don’t really know. If you’re not local to the area, ask a trusted friend who is to tour on your behalf, then ask their honest opinion about the listing. It might seem like a lot of effort, but renters who do their due diligence are likely far happier in their new homes.

In the face of unprecedented challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, many small businesses struggled to adapt and survive. However, there are always those remarkable individuals who rise above difficulties and turn adversity into opportunity. Melanie Kolb is one such inspiring figure. With determination and a keen eye for design, she transformed her small business from a mobile venture to a flourishing brick-and-mortar store front, specializing in Gustavian design and French country home decor.
A mobile beginning
Kolb founded Cedar Grove Farms initially as a mobile enterprise, showcasing her collection of curated home decor items and furniture through pop-up shops and travel shows across the southeast. Her passion for interior design and her ability to source unique, high-quality pieces quickly gained her a loyal customer base. Kolb traveled extensively, attending fairs and markets, building relationships with artisans, suppliers and customers – until the Covid-19 pandemic flipped the script.
“In February 2020, I had purchased trailer loads of product – enough for 10 shows,” Kolb said. “And then Covid hit.”
It was the pandemic, Kolb said, that was catalyst through which her business model changed from booths at craft and antique fares to a brick-and-mortar location in Hartselle and live shows on Facebook every week.
Her store now, located in East Hartselle, is close to her heart and her home, quite literally. It is located at the back of the 40-acre farm she shares with her husband Chris.
Pivoting amidst uncertainty
As the pandemic hit, Kolb faced the daunting task of adapting her business model to survive in the new normal. With restrictions on public gatherings and a decline in foot traffic at events, she had to think creatively to keep her entrepreneurial dreams alive. Instead of succumbing to the challenges, she decided to take a bold leap and establish a physical store front, focusing on her love for antiques and farmhouse design that features muted color palettes and carved wood.
Kolb said Chris actually encouraged her to take the leap of faith – and it is one she has never regretted taking.
It has paid off.
Cedar Grove Farms exudes a charming blend of the coveted antique aesthetic and French country charm. The delicate, muted and neutral colors and the distressed finishes paired with perfectly curated pieces of art transport customers to a world of timeless elegance and tranquility.
Community engagement and expansion
Kolb’s success is not limited to the commercial aspect of her business. She has actively engaged with her local community, hosting weekend workshops and what she calls ‘Vintage Vignettes’ for her customers in an effort to share her design skills. Every Monday night, Kolb goes live on Facebook to host décor sales in real-time – engaging with her 11,000 followers.
Through her weekly live sale on Facebook, items regularly are shipped to customers in Orlando, Fla., Vermont and Washington State.
Continuing to look for ways to grow her business and interact with her clients, Kolb said the conversations she has with her returning customers are her favorite part of the job.
“I love this so much more,” she says. “Before we would have huge crowds with thirty people deep in line – you could not connect with your customers at all.”
Kolb says she loves to empower her customers to decorate their homes themselves – she doesn’t just want to sell them a product.
“As women, home design is just as important as your outfit,” she says. “I love it when people come back and say ‘Oh, my husband loves this,’” she added.
For Kolb, Cedar Grove Farms is all about the community she’s built.
“It’s much more than a business and customer relationship now,” she says.
Kolb’s customers regularly travel to Hartselle from Memphis, Nashville and Birmingham.
Cedar Grove Farms in open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10-5 on the first Saturday of the month unless there is a holiday, or by appointment.
Cedar Grove Farms is located at 726 N. Cedar Cove Rd., Hartselle.

The difficulties with interior design
Designing an apartment is a challenging task, as there are a lot of factors to take into account. In an ideal world, there’s a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. Achieving this is tricky, especially with limited apartment space. Making efficient use of every inch becomes crucial, leading to tough choices about furniture selection, storage and overall layout.
Another struggle apartment renters run into is achieving a cohesive design. With a plethora of design styles and decor options available, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and end up with a mismatched look. Selecting the right color scheme, furniture pieces, lighting fixtures and decorative items is time-consuming and requires careful thought and even creativity.
Is there an app I can use for interior design?
In short, yes. In today’s digital age, a variety of applications exist to help facilitate interior design projects. They offer features like room planning, color matching and access to furniture catalogs, allowing the user to visualize their space and make informed decisions.

Once considered something of a novelty for agents, Instagram has emerged as one of the best ways to market properties. With a combination of creativity, diligence, and the successful application of Instagram know how, the following group of successful real estate gurus show the 86 percent of the industry not yet sold on Instagram, how business gets done. If you’re in the industry, Instagram is the perfect platform to show off your listings and your competency too. Pay close attention to the excellent leadership of the following companies.
The Agency
The Beverly Hills luxury lifestyle and luxury real estate brokers, The Agency just inspire. That’s all there is to it. Looking through their shares on Instagram I know I would pick from their listings if I had the millions it takes to buy one of these properties. 192,000 fans prove I am not the only one inspired. 38,000 plus likes on the following share punctuate my point.
Dusty Baker
This young and energetic California real estate pro is another social media phenom who understands how to engage with a personal touch. With just over 14,000 followers Dusty is not breaking any internet meme contests, but the fans he does have are engaged by family images and that special touch that makes people feel comfortable online or at an open house. Check it out when Dusty shares he and his wife’s happiest moments.
Cindy Ambuehl
Actress turned stunning Los Angeles real estate guru, Cindy Ambuehl has 41,500 fans on Instagram. Like other successful agents on social media, she understands the power of authenticity when she shares personal moments with her, her husband @DonDiamont and their 7 boys. I guess I should mention that Cindy works with The Agency too – maybe there is some correlation of excellence in social media there?
Chad Carroll
South Florida’s Chad Carroll is another superstar of Instagram for real estate dealing. Chad has a whopping 509k followers who check their feeds for the coolest properties on Instagram. This guy has not only sold $1.5 billion worth of luxurious properties, but he is also at the top of the South Florida food chain among agents. The share below now has almost 13,000 likes. Bravo Chad!
Douglas Elliman Real Estate
Douglas Elliman powers his Instagram dominance with gorgeous photos of some of America’s most amazing properties. This all-star has a powerful Instagram army numbering over 120,000. The property-gram from the Hamptons below tells the tale.

Fredrik Eklund
This bestselling author and star of Bravo’s MDLNY seems to doing everything right. His 1.1 million fans on Instagram attest to his influence and the quilty of his engagement. I feel bad putting two superstars from the same New York area in this roundup, but the fact Eklund works with Douglas Elliman does not detract from the level of expertise needed to attract leads on Instagram. Let me put it this way, if you have celebrity influence in any business, you’re well advised to use it where appropriate. This share with nearly 30,000 likes makes my point.
Shawn Elliott
One of the most popular Instagram followings out there belongs to Shawn Elliott, one of Long Island’s and America’s most successful luxury real estate pros. The Managing Director of Nest Seekers Ultra Luxury Division, Shawn has 31,200 followers as of this writing. The real power of his “gramming” is not about following alone. Shawn has a rare grasp of imagery and the way potential buyers perceive value and beauty. The real estate pro also knows how to engage without boring his following to death. The account is about more than business, which is what differentiates social media gurus from hard selling encyclopedia salesmen. Here’s Shawn with a familiar face from the movies.
Luis Iglesias
Instagram accounts that feature awe-inspiring photography have a distinct advantage. Luis Iglesias Group has forged this reality into one of the most alluring sales tools on Instagram. The close to 95,000 fans of this account get to feast their eyes on photographic candy equal to any Hollywood studio account. Check out how this Miami real estate boss melds stunning imagery with compelling texts to beckon his clients hither. Amazing. Take note and the lesson here. Social media management at this level does not come cheap, and I should know. Iglesias is backing his investment with this account.
Matthew Sweat
This Keller Williams pro in Lake Tahoe has melded his skills as a photographer and sales agent into a compelling Instagram effort worthy of mention. Though Sweat has less than 5,000 followers, the quality of his shares are incomparable.
Toll Brothers
Many do not consider America’s most admired home builders to be a real estate company, but for my money they take the American dream a step farther. This Fortune 500 company is consistently ranked the number 1 homebuilder in the world. And with nearly 90,000 fans on Instagram, it’s clear the company knows a thing or two about media. I cannot help but mention how high net worth individuals would seem to benefit from creating their lavish dreams from the ground up. Take a look at this home.
A last note on Instagram for those of you who are agents. Building trust via your social media prowess is a proven winning strategy now. With most agencies only paying lip service to Instagram and other platforms, forward thinkers like the agents mentioned can get a leg up on the competition. If your business is important to you, we can only recommend you emulate the most successful professionals like the ones illustrated here. Excellence in business is not new under the sun, and copying what these superstars do seems like child’s play for me.

I’ve been gardening for almost fifteen years. I started with flowers, added herbs and vegetables, then a few fruits, then a lot more. I’ve gardened in plots and pots and raised beds. I’ve drooled over bedding plants, spent too much on whatever was my obsession-of-the-moment (bulbs! daylilies! gooseberries! ornamental grasses!), and have certainly read my fair share of plant books and magazines.
By this time, I’m somewhat jaded about most gardening educational materials — I find they are often at one extreme or another: either an all-around reference that is about as exciting to read as The Merck Index, or beautiful but vapid plant-porn packed with color photos of planting schemes and “outdoor rooms” that can only be reproduced in Southern California!
However, I give a rave review — and two green thumbs up — to a recent find on container gardening: The Bountiful Container by Rose Marie Nichols McGee and Maggie Stuckey (2002). This book was suggested last spring by a reader named Beth in J.D.’s overview of square-foot gardening. It will find a permanent place on my gardening reference shelf, despite the fact that I don’t plan to grow anything new in a container in the foreseeable future. (Although this book just may have changed my mind.)
A Great Gardening Book
The Bountiful Container beats most gardening books hands-down in several key areas:
It focuses on growing plants that give a beginning gardener the most “bang for the buck”, plants that are both edible and decorative and can be grown with limited space: vegetables, herbs, a small selection of fruits, and edible flowers.
It is splendidly organized and easy to read, and has a great index, too.The Bountiful Container is full of practical information that covers the entire life span of the crops: choosing varieties, planting, watering, fertilizing, dealing with potential pests and diseases, tips for success, and the much anticipated harvesting and using/eating. Included are recipes and craft projects to make with your harvest. Bits of historical flora-lore are tucked in here and there for fun.
The level of detail is just right for almost any skill level, and the writing is pleasant to read and easy to understand. There are five full pages of instructions on the best ways to grow potatoes, and two full pages on radishes. (Radishes!) The information the authors provide will practically guarantee success compared to the somewhat generic and unhelpful lack of detail on the back of most seed packets.
When J.D. writes about our crop gardening, inevitably there are questions (and some audible moaning) about the possibilities of growing in containers. Container gardening can be much more than a clay jar of strawberries or a cherry tomato in a hanging basket!
Who might need to do their farming in a pot? Anyone without a yard (think apartment with a balcony) or who can’t dig up the yard (some renters). Those who are transitory and want to take their garden with them, or those with really bad growing conditions (such as poor soil).
Containers can also supplement a traditional garden, providing a handy pot of herbs just outside the kitchen door, an experimental area for kids to have their own garden, and allowing tender plants to be moved according to the season. For example, I have a bay laurel tree than lives in the herb garden until October, when I move it to a sheltered porch for the winter. [J.D.’s note:I am the one who moves it, and it’s heavy.] And my mint is in a pot to keep it from taking over!
Sowing the Seeds of Success
The Bountiful Container is specifically tailored for success growing edible crops in containers. The book teaches:
How to choose suitable varieties (chosen for compactness, hardiness, etc).
About increased watering and fertilizing requirements for container-bound plants. This is the biggest commitment for containers — they must be watered daily and fertilized regularly.
How to stake or trellis to help plants grow vertically and guard against wind damage.
Why you shouldn’t even try certain plants in containers (corn, melon, cabbage etc).
How to combine plants for a pleasing effect, to stagger harvest, and how to choose plants with similar water/sun/soil pH needs.
Although growing in containers will never give you enough produce at one time to can 16 quarts of spaghetti sauce or 30 pints of green beans, it’s just the thing for small-scale pick-and-eat farming.
One actual weekend harvest from August 2006 — not from containers.
I award The Bountiful Container bonus points for a number of reasons. First, most of the information is applicable to traditional in-the-ground gardening, and the thorough treatment of topics will teach even experienced gardeners a thing or two. (Although be sure to adjust watering and reduce fertilizing schedules if not growing in containers.)
Next, the authors don’t care if your containers are simply old 5-gallon buckets! They understand that some container gardens are for looks and others are for sheer practicality, but like most true gardeners, they think any growing, healthy plant is a thing of beauty, no matter what it may be growing in.
The book also covers low-impact pest and disease controls — the authors advocate the least toxic approach possible. The sizeable section on herbs is better than most books I’ve read devoted solely to the same topic. If you are just starting your garden and are considering growing herbs (in pots or the ground), I heartily recommend checking it out.
The Bountiful Container was written by Oregonians, but location-dependent issues are covered in detail, such as choosing the right apple for a warm-winter climate, how to protect your container plants from deep freezes and strong winds, and which plants need to go inside for the winter or be harvested before frost hits.
I love the very specific hints about which plants to begin growing from seeds versus when to buy plant starts. This is a much-misunderstood topic. Seeds are cheap, but they are not always the smartest investment.
Theme Gardens
McGee and Stuckey politely assume you know practically nothing, then explain it clearly and concisely. But they also assume you can decide for yourself which plants you want to grow, so they don’t offer many “paint-by-numbers” gardens. If you want a book that tells you exactly what to plant in what kind of pot so it looks just like the picture, you would be better served with Bob Purnell’s Crops in Pots.
The authors do offer a handful of “Theme Garden” plans. These plans, either in one container or a grouping of smaller pots, list specific plant varieties and how to arrange them. For example, “The Lemonade Party” on page 218 combines a Meyer lemon tree with lemon verbena, lemon-scented geraniums, basil and thyme, with yellow begonias, nasturtiums and violas. (The flowers are all edible.)
For the more serious cook, “Country Kitchen in the Round” (page 98) uses six pots to pack in one precious tomato plant, basil, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, nasturtiums, parsley, peas, peppers, rosemary, bush beans, a pepper, sage, summer squash, and culinary thyme! Early season and late season crops are rotated to make the most of the space.
Two Small Weeds
This book does have two shortfalls that should be noted:
Since it is ostensibly about container gardening, you will not find crops such as corn, watermelon, butternut squash, asparagus, and many more, including most flowers. (Luckily, these authors have produced other books, which I may have to investigate.)
This book has no photos, only pen-and-ink sketches. Since I associate these with mail order gardening ripoffs (which never look as good as promised), I was initially put off by the lack of photographs. But the solid information soon won me over. In their defense, it would be difficult to photograph such an arrangement as the “Country Kitchen” described above; by the time the eggplant, pepper and tomato plants are fruiting, the peas and lettuce would be done and gone.
Although J.D. often advocates borrowing books from the library, The Bountiful Container is one I know I will refer to throughout the entire growing season, so I’m glad we found a used copy to purchase (for $11.50). Maybe when I’ve learned its contents by heart, I’ll pass it along to a gardening friend. They’re bound to enjoy it as much as I have.
