Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Well Mother's Day isn't too far off so I thought I would give you a few suggestions for your mommy. We have some beautiful new Solar Lanterns called Silk Effects Solar Lanterns. These are very similiar to the Soji Lanterns. The silk effect lanterns has silk like fabric around the frame making it shimmer. These lanterns are available in two different shapes square and teardrop.
We also have a really neat floating solar light for use in a pond or swimming pool. These come in 5 different colours and are very cool.
Or you could look at the Aurora Glow String Solar Lights You can hang these from a tree, your patio umbrella anywhere you like. They are beautiful. Each string has 6 hand - blown bulbs. Pretty neat.

Turbo Turf Hydro Seeders

Good Day, Rittenhouse is now carrying the Turbo Turf line of Hydroseeding Equipment. Turbo Turf has been making hydro seeding systems since 1990. Turbo Turf Systems made a breakthrough with simple, lightweight, extremely powerful trouble free units that are used by thousands, including landscapers, lawncare operators, erosion control, cemeteries, parks etc. We are selling this line of machines only in Canada. The price for these units is much more affordable for the smaller contractors that can not justify the purchase of a mechanical agitation machine. The Turbo Turf Seeders are available from as small as 50 gallons to 1500 gallons. We have added some of the units to our site but more are being added daily. So check back for a wider selection soon.

Calling all Canadian Garden Centres

Rittenhouse is pleased to announce the completely revamped Backyard Dreams website. Formerly, the Backyard Dreams website was a start page for Rittenhouse, ATPonds watergarden superstore and Rock Valley Natural Stone.

Anyways, we have launched an internet directory for Canadian consumers to find a nearby garden centre. It will be a very large website when it is completed. If you have a garden centre and you are located in Canada, it is absolutely free. Just logon and click the sign up button and enter your information. It will help new customers find you!
