Heya! I always worry about you folks on/near the coast when summer storm season starts... so I didn't want anybody to miss today's article by LariAnn on plants that can help protect your home from high winds.

Maybe this is something that everybody down in "hurricane country" already knows about, but I'd never given much thought to anything beyond the fact that it was probably necessary to take coconuts off trees before a big storm. I'm emailing a link to her article to everybody I know who lives in southern/coastal areas!
Thanks, LariAnn!
