Bob Couch Wins the ONLA Distinguished Contribution Award

BOB COUCH WINS THE ONLA DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTION AWARD

The Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association has awarded our very own Bob Couch with the Distinguished Contribution Award. The Distinguished Contribution Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the nursery and landscape industries, and we can say that he's certainly earned it. Bob is our Nursery Sales Manager and has been with Dayton Bag & Burlap for the past 42 years.

Throughout his career, Bob has represented us well through his leadership within the horticulture community. Bob was the President of the ONLA Board of Directors in 2006, a member of the Horticulture Research Institute Board of Trustees from 2007 to 2014 -- including taking the mantle as its president throughout 2013, and has been involved with the American Nursery and Landscape Association (now AmericanHort). Bob is also no stranger to winning awards, as he received the Allied Supplier of the Year Award in 2003. He is an exceptional member of his community and loves to get involved at his local church. For the last 8 years he's been leading the church's mission trips.

Across Ohio and the greater U.S., Bob has put his passions for horticulture and community into everything he does. We are proud of his contributions to our field and proud to have him as a member of our team. Congratulations Bob! You deserve it.

08 Jun, 2021

Gardening twine is one of the most useful tools in a gardener’s tool box. However, newer gardeners might not be aware of the broad uses of twine in a garden. Twine is a durable, light thread made up of two or more strands which are twisted together resulting in increased strength. We’ll cover how someone might use twine to support their plants and what the best practices are for doing so.

Preventing Weeds With A Burlap Layer

26 Apr, 2021

It’s Springtime again, and that means landscaping and gardening are back in full swing. However, before you lay down new mulch or soil, consider adding extra protection against weeds with a burlap sheet. Weeds can be a nuisance and can get worse as they grow and spread. Mulch and gravel can deter some of the weaker species but they aren’t perfect when it comes to more tenacious plants. A burlap layer can provide a screen that blocks unwanted weeds from robbing the nutrients from your soil. This, in turn, allows your plants to flourish.
