Being an avid nature lover and self-proclaimed "tree hugger", I have been looking for a website that would give me some good tips and tricks for dealing with my lovely trees and landscaping, especially during this crazy weather (since when does Houston freeeeeeeze?). So, in my lookings about, I came across an awesome site that does way more than I have been able to find out there. www.embarkservices.com gives me all sorts of green tips and up-to-date info on weather and how to protect my pretty trees and shrubs. Me, being the sometimes cynic, had to do my due diligence of how "relevant and valid" these people are. Turns out, they just won the award for best website from the Tree Care Industry Association...pretty cool, I think. So, I have vowed to share the info with all of my tree hugging friends out there....read on dear lovers, read on!
