It’s also a water sipper, staying greener during droughts. These environmentally sustainable properties offer consumers improved value; it is easier and less expensive to maintain. It's these attributes delegates of all stripes – municipalities, garden centres, lawn care & golf course workers –attending 2012 OTS I am sure will find fascinating."
