Our editor's are always glad to get away from the office for a bit to take a look at homes and gardens in the area. Just ask George Williams of Precision HomeCRAFTERS, LLC., recent winner in the 2009 Alabama Remodeling Excellence Awards. Today, March 24, 2009, George and our editor, Alicia Clavell, took a scouting trip to look at one of his most recent remodeling projects for a potential feature.

Talk of Alabama Television Spot: Spring Has Sprung

Lydia Pursell from Leaf & Petal joined Birmingham Home & Garden this Tuesday, March 24th on ABC 33/40’s Talk of Alabama to show off some great gifts for the home and garden. She showcased everything from hook pillows to botanicals and bracelets.

Lydia reminded viewers not to miss the store’s special “Go Green Section” which includes everything from pop-top treasures to plant containers constructed from tires. The section began with around 25 items and has blossomed to around 100, Lydia notes.

Visit Leaf & Petal in one of their three area locations including the Birmingham Botanical Gardens (bbgardens.org).
