STONE IS THE NEW STANDARD Why We Love Tremron’s Stonegate Wall Blocks

A beautiful stone feature — for your walls, seating walls, columns, plants, firepits, and much more — can make your backyard space look breathtaking. When it comes to BLG Environmental’s designs, there’s no stonework that we trust more than Tremron’s Stonegate Retaining Wall. These stone wall blocks are a perfect combination of function and style, and they are double-sided for installing patterns or irregularities that imitate the look of quaint European villages (and they last for decades just the same!). They can serve multiple purposes, like completing your outdoor kitchen or helping control erosion when built against a ledge.

I recently discovered a surprising passion for plant propagation. What started as a request from my parents to help with their small nursery business has blossomed into a true love for the art of growing new plants from cuttings. When my parents first asked me to get involved, I was curious but unsure. They patiently taught me the technique — how to take the right cuttings, prepare the soil, and nurture the new growth. It was like magic watching these tiny pieces of greenery transform into thriving plants. Now, I proudly call myself the “Propagation Prince” of our 40-acre family farm! My parents have tasked me with leading all our propagation projects, and I’ve developed attention to detail in the growing process and a keen eye for spotting the perfect cuttings. One of the most rewarding parts of propagation is seeing the final results. Watching the cuttings I carefully tended blossom into vibrant, healthy plants is really satisfying. It’s a reminder that you can make amazing things happen with the right care and effort. And the best part? My parents let me keep some of the profits from the plants I propagate. At 10 years old, I have my own money and the freedom to save or spend it as I choose. Financial independence is pretty sweet! The Propagation Prince GAVIN’S GUYS

As I look to the future, I can’t help but wonder where this passion will lead. Maybe I’ll take over the family nursery business someday. Or maybe I’ll use my green thumb to pursue a career in gardening or environmental science. Whatever path I choose, I know the skills and experience I’m gaining now will be valuable.

For now, I’m focused on perfecting my propagation techniques and enjoying the process. There’s something magical about watching new life spring forth from a single cutting. It’s a reminder that amazing things can happen with a little care and attention. And as the “Propagation Prince,” I’m excited to be a part of that journey.
