I'm looking for suggestions for a nice, small (not too tall or too full) for my garden area. We have good sun in the area. I'm in VA to give an idea of the climate. I'd like something that's fragrant, as well.

Good luck!

One of my neighbors was telling me she heard about a new "composite" wood that's supposed to be ideal for decks, patios, etc.. Problem is, she can't remember what the name of it is. Has anyone heard of this and know the name and more about it?
TIA!

I've seen textures that you can add to paint. I'd love to have that look in my living room. Is anyone here experienced with textures? I'd love to hear from someone with first-hand experience.
TIA!
