Good Nature

Do You Love Weeds?

Taking charge of your weed situation now is the great way to control weeds before they become a problem in your landscape beds this season. Contact Good Nature Inc. for a pre emergent weed application and we will add you to our scheudule and help you get those weeds before they have a chance to germinate. We will be doing the pre emergent visits during March. To be added to our list, contact Tracey at tracey@goodnatureinc.com or 336-7200.

  

Even if Good Nature Inc. does your spring clean up and mulching, we find that weeds are best controlled if the pre emergent is applied in March instead of waiting for your larger clean up and mulch visit. 

  

For the best results all season, we do recommend weed control visits every 6-8 weeks throughout the spring/summer.  

2011 Irrigation Maintenance

Be sure to return or approve your 2011 Irrigation Maintenance by 3/1/11 to receive the discounted pricing for this season and to make sure you are included on the Good Nature Inc. schedule. We will start working on the schedule in March for the activations and back flow tests that will be performed this spring. You will be contacted toward the end of March or beginning of April with a schedule date. Good Nature Inc. typically begins activations in mid April.

Are You Prepared For Winter?

  Late fall and early winter is the time when most of the plants in your landscaping go into dormancy and although leaf removal is a very important part of fall clean up, it is not the only thing that needs to be completed to ensure your landscaping looks its best next spring. Proper trimming and pruning is also extremely important. Developmental pruning now will allow for better growth in the spring. It also is a great opportunity to repair any small damage that has occurred to plants, and to ensure that they maintain the proper shape and appearance for the upcoming season. Another service that creates a neater appearance over the winter is the cutting back of dormant perennials and ornamental grasses. To schedule your fall clean up/leaf removal, please email tracey@goodnatureinc.com or call the office 336-7200.

 If you are interested in taking advantage of the prepayment discount for 2011 Irrigation Maintenance Services, make sure to make your payment by December 31, 2010. Contact Tracey with any questions, tracey@goodnatureinc.com. 

Also, if you need your holiday lighting installed please let us know right away. The schedule is filling up quickly.

Are You Ready For Fall?

The leaves are starting to drop and the temperature is changing that means Good Nature Inc. is preparing scheudules for fall outdoor services.

If you need information about fall clean up/leaf removal or to reserve a spot on our schedule, please contact Tracey at 336-7200 or tracey@goodnatureinc.com. Generally, the first fall clean up/leaf removal visits are scheduled mid to late October.

If you have not contacted us about your irrigation system winterization, please do so by Friday, October 1 if you want to be included on the first round of scheduling. We will beging winterizations the middle of October, depending on the weather. If you confirm after October 1, you may be on the second round of scheduling which begins mid to late November. If you would like to review the maintenance information, please contact Tracey at 336-7200 or tracey@goodnatureinc.com and the information will be sent to you.

Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Kelly Funk Recovery Fund

Kelly Funk Recovery Fund   Everyone who knows Kelly Funk knows she is a woman of uncommon energy and drive, approaching everything she undertakes with passion and enthusiasm. Along with her husband, John Ferree, Kelly owns and operates Seldom Seen Farm, one of the most successful small-scale vegetable growing operations in Central Indiana. Kelly and John are currently vendors at several local farmers markets. On the afternoon of Thursday, July 8, Kelly was tragically struck by lightning while working on her farm. As of today, she remains in critical condition at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. While there have been small and hopeful signs of improvement, her journey of recovery will be long and difficult. She is surrounded by loving and supportive family members, who welcome your thoughts and prayers. Kelly's extended "farm family" has launched a number of efforts to ease the family's financial burden during this difficult time. Many of the vendors will be accepting donations at local markets this week and some are also donating a portion of their weekly sales. A fund in Kelly's name, the Kelly Funk Recovery Fund, is set-up at Huntington Bank for anyone wishing to make a direct donation. Please click here to make a donation.  For more information about Kelly's recovery please visit the Seldom Seen Farm Website.
