And with a climate like ours, every excuse to be outside is a good one. Not only is gardening a great way to relax, studies have shown that landscaping can actually speed the sale of your home by up to six weeks.  Grooming your property can also increase your resale value by a whopping 14 per cent. Social scientists claim that plants are the quickest and cheapest way to improve the atmosphere of an area.  With arguments like that, what’s not to like?

Moving in together is an exciting time. Whether you’re newly married or just decided to take your relationship to the next level, this new arrangement is going to take some compromise.
