Eco-Legacy, a Tradition of "Plow and Hearth"

Glen Allen based The Wright Scoop – consultant, lecturer, & wordsmith, Sylvia Hoehns Wright, nationally recognized eco-specialist, challenges all to enable an earth-healthy legacy, a holiday tradition of plow and hearth gifts.

Glen Allen, VA, December 06, 2012 --(PR.com)-- As the holiday season approaches, are you considering gift choices? For many, the focus is ‘hearth and home’ but from an eco-legacy perspective, a focus of ‘plow and hearth’ is more meaningful to most people. For, all too often, last-minute trendy gifts are purchased, items most people view as thoughtful but useless. “So, instead of this type of gift,” says eco-specialist The Wright Scoop - Sylvia Hoehns Wright, “over the years, I’ve for examples donated a half day to rake an elderly friend’s yard, plant bulbs or began the pruning process; in other words, put a focus on ‘plow’ in my holiday gift giving.”

Interested but not sure how to proceed? “Plug in,” says Wright “acquire a weather station such as those provided by Wind and Weather; and begin your journey into an understanding of a tradition of eco-legacy gifts." For, there are numerous ‘living green’ gift options from which to chose: crafting a seasonal arrangement or decoration, planting bulb beds, raking yard debris, lime and fertilizing grassy areas, creating a site for a spring planting or thinning crowded evergreens. And, if no readily available outside choice exists, consider creating a container garden of forced-bloom bulbs or identify an educational opportunity and make reservations for two: one for yourself and one for a friend.

Or, a gift could be sharing the bounty of your garden. Pickles, jams or jelly are relatively easy to make. On the other hand, if you can not provide a gift item directly from your garden or kitchen, select ‘buy local’ options such as those provided by ‘Virginia Green’ retailers. So, in the spirit of the holiday season, join a quest to green life’s garden one scoop at a time. Enable an earth-healthy eco-legacy, a tradition of ‘plow and hearth’ gifts.
