Outdoor cushions add comfort and style to your patio or garden — but in order for them to look good (for longer), they require proper care to remain fresh and inviting.

County fair season is the perfect time to show off your garden’s best flowers and maybe earn a ribbon or two along the way.

Besides proper watering, where you place your tree can also play a part in how long it stays looking fresh. Leaving your tree near a heat source, like a vent, could speed up the drying process.
