About our Wheelchair Lifts, Home Elevators, Stair Lifts such as Savaria and Stannah Stairlifts, Vacuum Elevators, Platform Lifts and More in Erie, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rochester & Buffalo
Access Elevator delivers highly functioning stair lifts and home elevators to customers throughout Erie, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. With exceptional customer service and easy to use products, Access Elevator is amongst the top home lift suppliers in the industry.
Our Story
Like all things Access, our story is unique. There is little that is traditional about Access Elevator and Lift, save for the fact that it was born out of a great idea – an idea that has remained the core focus of every decision, innovation and customer product that has followed.
Access Elevator and Lift is owned, collectively, by a group of the highest volume, seasoned residential elevator companies in the country. Individually, we are small business owners who believe in the value of a handshake and a promise. As Access Elevator and Lift, we are the largest co-operative group of elevator contractors in the country, and together we still hold the same values. For years, this select self-chosen peer group met spontaneously at industry tradeshows and functions, finding ourselves gathered in hotel lobbies into the early morning hours, talking about what would make our businesses better. What would make our customers happier? What would we do differently if we were the ones building the product, not just selling and installing it? Like many great ideas, this one grew organically out of those discussions. Surprising us all, it became the obvious alternative to reluctantly accepting the poor quality and poor responsiveness in the market: let's build it.
Together, we recognized that we had the horsepower and experience to develop a truly revolutionary product line – one built upon the immediate feedback of the end user: you, our customer. We knew from listening to our customers that the car operating panel could be more user-friendly. So, let's change it! The drive mechanism is too noisy, let's find a quieter one. There's new technology that allows an elevator to be powered by solar, let's build it! Why doesn't anyone build a home elevator cab with furniture quality craftsmanship? We can and will!
On the other side of the underperforming industry coin were the talented and creative designers who were being confined by the bonds of large manufacturing companies, virtually disconnected from customer feedback and relegated to the task of producing a one- size-fits-all product line. We recognized their incomparable skill set and ingenuity and began to wonder – what could these specialists create if given both direct customer input anddesign freedom?
The result has been a remarkably innovative product line that remains anchored in the needs of the customer, not the needs of the manufacturer. The result has been a customer-focused commitment, driven by agile business leadership. The result has been Access:
[sim-i-tree] The quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other around an axis.
Our axis is you, our customer.
Once our business partnership was formed, we met with our engineering and manufacturing partners to create our product line. Utilizing all of the resources that we had accumulated over the past 35 years of business, including the over one hundred employees in our existing companies, we went to the drawing board. We started with what was good in the marketplace and focused on how we could make it better. We also looked at what was not good in the marketplace and specifically designed improvements. We took feedback from several thousand customers, architects, general contractors and homeowners, and incorporated their ideas into our design. Finally, we assembled a team of the most experienced and exacting field technicians, installers and sales personnel, gleaning from them the invaluable and singular input that comes from those who have daily, direct contact with the products.
One of the most unique aspects of Access Elevator and Lift is that we are constantly improving. We are committed to continual improvement of our products as well as our organization.
With this foundation, we created a groundbreaking line of products. A line of residential elevators, vertical wheelchair lifts and LU/LA Elevators, all of which are wholly distinctive and proprietary to Access Elevator and Lift. Individually and as a whole, their thoughtful design elements and engineering are unparalleled in the marketplace.
During this process, we partnered with some of the best specialty manufacturers in our industry. These are companies who share our enthusiasm for innovation and excellence, and who already built the highest quality product in their markets.
Last, we addressed distribution. With the group of industry leaders already assembled via our inventive business model, it was a seamless transition to filling out our map with only the best dealers in the country. As we continue to develop our product offerings, we also continue to establish the remaining markets with like-minded, leading-edge companies.

Skip to comments.Newman Bookstore closing; longtime intellectual Catholic hub in District
Posted on 04/07/2013 7:03:03 AM PDT by markomalley
The Northeast Washington neighborhood of Brookland was long ago nicknamed Little Rome, its skyline defined by the dramatic Basilica of the National Shrine and its few main streets by Catholic University, the headquarters of the Catholic bishops and various seminaries. This is a place where you might spot priests in collars on a grassy field cheering on a team of nuns playing softball.
But in a city booming with new condos and cafes, the grassy fields are disappearing. And in a nation where the number of men and women becoming priests and nuns is plummeting, there are far fewer clergy to be seen around Brookland.
And now one of Little Romes intellectual hubs is about to disappear, too.
Newman Bookstore, where top cardinals in town from the Vatican have brushed elbows with young seminarians and urbane laypeople since the store opened in 1955, is closing up shop in May.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.washingtonpost.com ...
For those of you in the DC/MD/VA area, I would suggest going while you still can. The Newman Bookstore was, by far, the finest Catholic bookstore I have ever seen anyplace in the country.
I didn't go there all the time, but when I needed to find a Catholic book...particularly an obscure one...that was the place to go.
This is an unmitigated tragedy.
I hope they find someplace else to hang their shingle. There's not enough room at the Paulist Bookstore in Old Town Alexandria...and the bookstore in the Shrine markets to a far more mainstream audience (they couldn't sustain the wide variety of books that the Newman could).
I do live in Maryland and never shopped here, but as a Catholic, I do find it sad. Luckily Amazon has all the books that sell in the shop and more. Book stores are only going to close as more people not only purchase NOOKS and other e-books, but Amazon is using Capitalism to win the book and video "wars".
This makes me feel sad.
The problem is that if you are looking for something but are not sure the exact title, the ability to browse is irreplaceable. In the past, I have endeavored to take up the subject of Patristics some because what I've read online by the Fathers was fascinating. But there is a very limited quantity of texts available online. I, honestly, would have no idea what title to order from Amazon. But I found several titles that I have never heard of before by thumbing through the Newman Bookstore's stacks.
The same would apply to a person with an interest in Canon Law, Franciscan or Dominican spirituality, or anything else (in fact, a lot of times you have to be very CAREFUL with what you buy...or you'd end up accidentally buying something with the value of O'Brien's Catholicism [[barf]]...or worse).
That is true. I feel sad for you. However, I think I have a solution.
Basilica of the National Shrine Bookstore and Gift Shop
400 Michigan Ave. NE, Washington, DC, 20017
Hours: Daily: Apr.-Nov., 8:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Nov.-Mar., 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years' Day
Metro and Parking: Brookland/CUA (Red Line); free on-site parking.
I have been there and I think you will find everything you are looking for. I believe that this bookstore will be open for many years to come. Best of luck!
There are plenty of Catholic bookstores and publishers on the web that you can do business with while promoting capitalism. Instead you line the pockets of those doing the work of the prince of lies. Congratulations.
Not even close. The Shrine bookstore is a nice bookstore, don't get me wrong, but it is not even in the same league as the Newman Bookstore (in fact, a CUA STL student who was working at the Shrine bookstore turned me onto the Newman Bookstore several years ago).
Oh Lord. Really? You are supporting Homosexual junk everyday by just surviving in this hell hole. 90 percent of the business' support Homosexual crap.
i was just thinking this morning about the piles of books I have and how no one, including me reads them anymore.
Bookstores are disappearing. The South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif. used to have three but now has none. I used to have a big bookstore within walking distance, but the nearest one is now six miles away.
Replacing bookstores with online sellers such as Amazon and paper books with "e-books" may be hailed by some as "progress," but to me, this is tragic. When shopping online, you can't pick up the book and flip through it as you can in the bookstore. And reading "e-books" on the computer screen hurts my eyes.
Progress doesn't always mean that things get better.
I think there is always an interest in browsing, and in actually being somewhere that has atmosphere. The Barnes and Noble near us always has a packed parking lot and a line at the register. It is an experience, not just an errand.
But I think it helps that there is not a lot of nightlife around here, and more of a family vibe in the community. So, coming over to the bookstore on a Friday night for story hour or, for the older kids, some midnight promotion, seems like a good way to spend an evening.
**number of men and women becoming priests and nuns is plummeting**
A half-truth by the author.
Seminaries are booming and more men are being ordained than ever before.
The religious consecration of women will catch up.
Thank you, Pope Benedict, for cleaning out the dissendent seminaries and convents. (They are still working on the convents, I believe.)
But doesn't Amazon support Planned Parenthood?
I agree with your point of view on that. Speaking of general merchandise, support of the homosexual agenda is so pervasive it is becoming nearly impossible to buy or sell without dealing with them. If it's not the retailer it's their parent company or supplier. Yes, there are a still a few pure Catholic publishers out there but you can't buy a car or milk from them.
I don't know if you're aware of paxbook.com, which is "the exclusive and authorized Internet distributor for publications of the Vatican Publishing House and many other Catholic institutes." I know you won't be able to browse like in a bookstore, and you'll have to pay UPS charges, but it might have some of the more unusual books that you're looking for. You can subscribe to their monthly newsletter to get updates on what's new and what the bestsellers are (click on the "Helpdesk" link on the left-hand side and then "Newsletter Subscriptions and Notification Service...manage your Newsletter Subscription").
BTW, when I ordered some books and UPS delivered them, I thought the driver was going to die when he glanced at the return address. I don't remember exactly what it said, but he got the impression that it was directly from the Vatican and he was stunned ("It's...it's...it's...FROM THE VATICAN!!!")
....And Barnes and Noble too. I have done both the online and the bricks and motar buildings.
But doesnt Amazon support Planned Parenthood?
I don't know but I think everyone either supports the evil abortion or the evil homosexuals. It is getting ugly.

Zac from Blake Mason isn't a pretty boy - he's a UK guy who's a bit rough around the edges with tattoos, a mostly shaved head and a little bit of attitude. He's got a slender body, thick bushy pubes and hairy thighs, and this horny Brit has no problem getting naked and jerking his cock for the camera. In fact, it seems to turn him on!

Over the past year I have tested dozens of products for mature skin from all price ranges. The requirements for us older dames are quite specific as skin dries out, loses its elasticity and gets wrinkled. The basic tenets are: exfoliate, moisturise and protect. These are my favourites:
Body cream
Body Shop Body Butter , £12, is brilliant and much better than some very expensive ones I tested, so they should stop sneaking the price up. Right now please! I also swear by Darphin's Aromatic Bath and Body Oil , £21.94 stockists 0870 034 2566, and This Works Dry Leg Oil , £32, www.thisworks.com - silken nourishment.
Body scrub
It's important to exfoliate the dead cells that accentuate old, dry skin.
Body Shop Body Scrub , £12. Not too harsh but works. Good smell too. Ren Guerande Salt Exfoliating Body Balm , £19.50, 020 7724 2900. Both come in good scoopy pots. Apply with a loofah for extra whoomph.
Facial exfoliant
Estee Lauder's Idealist Micro-D Deep Thermal Refinisher , £32, is the best fun because it warms up when wet. Comfortingly brilliant.
DDF Glycolic Exfoliating Wash, use lots and really massage in. Sloughs off dead cells and lasts for a long time. £32, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges 0800 0371600.
An extra layer of moisture. I use in the morning at least five minutes before applying moisturiser. You could use at night as well. Skinceuticals' Vitamin C plus Vitamin E Ferulic , £60, firstname.lastname@example.com. Expensive, but you only need a tiny bit and it is instantly absorbed. You can virtually feel your skin drink it up and has high anti-oxidant content.
Elizabeth Arden's Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules, £52 for 60 capsules. Wonderful nourishment in a dear little capsule that you pop. Instantly absorbed. Absolutely brilliant and the popping's the best.
Caudalie Moisturising Concentrate , £23 from the Garden Pharmacy at www.garden.co.uk. Another quickly absorbed, excellently nourishing oil.
Night cream
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair (£65. A serious hard-hitter that works on its own as a night cream but is miraculous at restoring dried-out skin. Fushi's A4 Cell Rejuvenator 24h Face Cream (£95, www.fushi.co.uk. Produced by a small holistic beauty company, but is a huge pot and lasts for ages.
Day cream
Environ Mild Day Cream with SPF 4. Formulated in South Africa where they know a thing or two about sun damage and claims to boost skin production. I love it - £25, email@example.com. L'Oreal Age Re-perfect, Anti-slackening Intensive Restoring Cream spf 15 (£11.24, Superdrug. I double-checked this with a 75-year-old who will now use nothing else.
Eye cream
Elizabeth Arden's Prevage £74.99. You only need a tiny bit and go easy if you're prone to eyebags.
L'Oreal Revitalift Double Lifting Eye Cream £13.99. Rather like Signal toothpaste, two colours combine from different channels.
Hand cream
Alpha H anti-ageing hand cream (200ml, £24, www.beautyexpert.co.uk. Hard-hitting night cream for hands. Atrixo Regenerating Treatment (18), £4.75 Boots, Superdrug. Great little workhorse.
Foot files
Vital for oldies. Diamancel (£29, is what they use in Bliss. It's horribly expensive but the toughest file I've found that works. Champneys (£12.50 selected Sainsbury's is good for gentler attacks.
Foot cream
DDF Pedi-Cream (£30, Harvey Nichols, is really good for cracked heels. Apply at night otherwise you slip over and Sanctuary Intensive Rescue Heel Balm (£6.95, www.sanctuary.co.uk, softens skin.

Mission Control told the crew of seven that the shuttle will be safe for re-entry with the torn blanket below the cockpit window.
The space agency had been considering sending the astronauts out to snip away part of the blanket, for fear that a 13-inch section could rip away during the return to Earth, whip backward and slam into the shuttle, perhaps causing grave damage.
It would have been the fourth spacewalk of the mission, and the second time during the flight that the astronauts had to step outside to repair the shuttle's thermal protection and reduce the risk of another Columbia-type tragedy as the spacecraft passes through the blowtorch heat of re-entry.
"We have good news," Mission Control radioed to Discovery. The mission management team concluded that the torn blanket "is safe for return. There's no issue."
An analysis showed that there would be no danger to the shuttle if a section of the blanket ripped away during re-entry, and wind tunnel tests in California showed the same thing, meaning no spacewalk will be necessary, Mission Control said.
Replied astronaut Soichi Noguchi, one of the crew's assigned spacewalkers: "That's, I would say, good news."
The shuttle is scheduled to return to Earth on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, as Discovery orbited the Earth Thursday, the shuttle's crew sent down images of the planet below and each crew member took a few minutes to discuss space exploration, its costs and remembered those who didn't make it home.
"We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard," astronaut Wendy Lawrence said. "And certainly, space exploration is not easy and there has been a human price that has been paid."
Astronaut Charles Camarda said Columbia's loss in 2003 reaffirmed the need for those who explore to be vigilant about the risks involved.
Columbia was doomed by a piece of insulating foam shed from its external fuel tank during launch. The foam pierced a wing and caused the shuttle to disintegrate over Texas, killing all seven astronauts.
"In that accident, we not only lost seven colleagues, we lost seven friends," Camarda said. "They believed in space exploration. They knew the risks, but they believed in what they were doing. They showed us that the fire of the human spirit is insatiable."
Based on the Columbia tragedy, Discovery's astronauts have spent a majority of their test flight mission inspecting their ship, making repairs and testing out new repair techniques.
Collins said her crew had thoroughly studied the procedures before Wednesday's unprecedented spacewalk when astronaut Stephen Robinson removed two worrisome pieces of filler material from the shuttle's belly. It was the first time an astronaut has ventured below the ship.
NASA engineers thought the tile filler removed Wednesday might cause the shuttle to overheat during its descent through the atmosphere and lead to another Columbia-type disaster.
"We were watching with anticipation and excitement," Collins said of the spacewalk. "When I saw Steve pull the gap filler out, I started clapping and we were cheering in the flight deck."
Robinson told the AP that he was careful to make sure his body and none of his tools contacted the shuttle's fragile belly during the task.
"I had my hand out and I had that purposely out there sort of as potential bumper," he said. "If I was going to hit anything on the orbiter, I wanted it to be my fingers in a springy position."
Hale said tile fillers, like the ones removed Wednesday, have probably protruded on previous flights, but this time the agency spotted them and was able to repair them because of the new inspection techniques put in place after Columbia.
Robinson was barely back inside the shuttle and out of his spacesuit Wednesday when Mission Control informed the crew about the chance of another spacewalk to deal with the torn thermal blanket.
The concern is that a roughly 1-foot section of the blanket could rip away during re-entry, whip backward and slam into the shuttle, perhaps causing grave damage. Engineers expected to know by late Thursday whether the danger is real and whether any blanket trimming is required.
"I think in the old days we would not have worried about this nearly so much," Hale said. "I am very hopeful that we will be able to put this issue at rest."
Also Thursday, astronauts finished up their testing of new repair techniques.
They demonstrated a proposed repair method for small holes in the carbon panels that line the shuttle's wings. That repair technique, tested in Discovery's mid-deck on samples brought to space, was the last of three techniques set to be tested on orbit by Discovery's crew.
Astronaut James Kelly told Mission Control the astronauts got 40 minutes of video from the experiment, which he called a success.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) For about 90 minutes Wednesday, visitors to the Oregon University System's website found themselves taken for a ride they didn't ask for. They were redirected to another site under the control of a hacker, who posted an 89-word screed criticizing the protests in Iran.
"We never cheated in elections," the site read, in black and red. The message included invective aimed at President
As Internet attacks go, this type isn't uncommon, and the site was quickly restored to normal. The attack also didn't appear to harm visitors' machines: The site appeared to only serve up a political message rather than a computer virus, as some hacked sites carry. Very few people were likely affected, too: The site averages fewer than 1,000 hits a day.
What the incident shows, though, is how political turmoil can spill quickly into unexpected parts of the Internet, as sites that have nothing to do with a conflict often get hijacked and turned into bully pulpits for so-called "hacktivists" bent on advancing a political cause, rather than making money.
"It's a bit like graffiti on the subway," said
The schism in Iran over the disputed presidential election has already led to a range of Internet attacks. Some activists have been urging supporters to try to take down government sites with so-called "denial-of-service" attacks, in which the sites are flooded with so much Internet traffic that their servers buckle. Mounting those attacks can be relatively easy using widely available hacking programs.
That assault may be working: Many official Iranian sites are currently inaccessible, though it's unclear whether the outages are hacking-related. For its part, Iran has employed filtering technology to restrict what sites people in the country can visit.
The incident at the Oregon University System, which oversees Oregon's seven public universities, is just one example of what happens repeatedly whenever a political conflict flares these days. The war in Iraq, fighting in Israel, the
Sites that are hacked in this way aren't necessarily targeted for their political affiliations. Instead, hackers seek them out because of security vulnerabilities in their computer networks. Those vulnerabilities can be simple to find with automated tools hackers have built to sniff out weaknesses in websites' programming code.
Figuring out the culprits is usually very hard, sometimes impossible, because it's easy to cover your tracks online. And unless the hackers leave some kind of hint that they're associated with a larger criminal gang, there's little chance law enforcement will get deeply involved.
"More and more people are kind of thinking this is acceptable behavior on the Internet," Cluley said. "If you're clever and smart and don't do something dumb, your chances of getting caught are probably quite small."
Oregon University System spokeswoman Diane Saunders said the school system was analyzing computer files for clues about who might be responsible. She said the hackers were able to access the site through a vulnerability in third-party software that tracks the number of visitors to the site. That vulnerability has now been fixed.
In many cases, major world events give online criminals a great opening to try and lure more victims into garden-variety Internet swindles.
Alan Paller, director of research for the
The bad guys are really good at making fake sites look real. They're also relentless advertisers: Spam volumes also surge after a big news event, with crooks trying to direct victims to sites that will infect their computers.
Paller says the effectiveness of those campaigns "is almost entirely determined by how well they exploit current news stories" and craft provocative headlines to sucker somebody into clicking on the link.
The hackers behind Oregon University System's website attack got noticed — for 90 minutes at least.

Tall Pots in a Shallow World
- Patience Evans
- 1 years ago
- Views:
1 Tall Pots in a Shallow World Scientists have figured out how to restore damaged urban desert landscapes with native plants that use less surface water and prevent erosion. Problem is, the scraggly little saplings with long roots just aren t as pretty as their conventionally grown counterparts. Wayne Warrington I m drawn to the call of frogs congregating on a environments. But the Flood Control District of Mari- lone desert tree - the only dry anchor they can copa County hopes to combat the destruction. One find. The tree stands isolated, on an island cut tree at a time. from recent eroding floodwaters. A muddy river now separates me from this last tree standing in a landscape scoured by downed limbs, tumbling rocks, and long discarded man-made debris. Yesterday, this expanse of desert in Maricopa County was silent, dry, and sparsely vegetated. The natural desert plants must have been cleared years ago for a farm or perhaps a housing development on the edge of Scottsdale. Now it s barren land. Had the native mesquite, creosote, palo verde, rabbit brush, and various cacti been left undisturbed, the established network of deep native plant roots may have weakened the recent torrent s damage. Unfortunately, damaged landscapes like this are common in disturbed desert
2 An obscure and time-tested solution The salvation of flood-ravaged desert landscapes lies in an obscure but time-tested planting method for native plants. A decade ago, the county embarked on an experiment to plant native trees and shrubs in tall pots, hoping to create plants with more robust root Such an anchor provides additional support for fledgling or established trees in fierce winds that can occur during the height of monsoon storms. Anchored plants also hold soil in place and retain healthy populations of vegetation, allowing wildlife, like chorusing frogs, to remain dispersed, instead of clinging to islands. systems better adapted for our arid climate. Since native plants have a natural propensity to create root structures that seek ground water dozens of feet below the surface, it made sense to pot new desert plants in a way that encouraged long root structures. The tall pot nursery Harry Cooper, the Flood Control District s landscape architect, inherited the tall pot experiment in His inheritance included a tall pot tree nursery, an office stocked with bookshelves and file drawers containing Conventional growing methods, conversely, create related materials, and a collection of digital data. unnaturally dense balls of matted roots. While they I met with Cooper early on a windy morning in mid- October, in the Flood Control District building in the county complex in south Phoenix. Smells from the landfill directly to the south become noticeable each time the wind picks up. may be hearty to start with, they struggle with a shallow root structure in the harsh environment of the Sonoran desert. But the rub is that native plants transplanted from tall pots are not immediately pretty. During the early growing phase, plants transplanted from tall pots have reduced foliage, thanks to their long roots. Cooper s voice is deep and gravely, and his professionally proper greeting reinforces his serious demeanor. The longer root structure allows vegetation to anchor itself in the desert soil, while reaching for the water table that may lay dozens of feet below the surface. I m interested in looking at his data, but he s eager to showcase the tall pot nursery. We cross the agency parking lot to a fenced off plot of land marked
3 Maricopa County Flood Control District Tall Pot ingenuity and successful persistence. Nursery. He unlocks the gate and leads me to rows of vegetation growing in 30-inch sections of PVC pipe. Standing amongst the scraggly sapling and yearling trees, I wonder where the notion of incubating native plants in tall pots began. If climate changes, tall pot plants will fill valuable role If monsoon storms continue to intensify and prolonged high temperature periods increase, plants grown with minimal water and robust roots will fill a valuable role in and around Phoenix. The modern development of growing methods emphasizing elongated roots had originated in southern California during the 1980s in experiments in arid lands restoration. The tall pot tubes surrounding Cooper and me were developed from planting practices started in Joshua Tree National Park, were improved by research conducted by David Bainbridge in San Diego, were transported to Arizona by way of revegetation specialists at Arizona Game and Fish Department, and were shared with the Center for Native and Urban Wildlife at Scottsdale Community College before ultimately being embraced by Maricopa County s Flood Control District. And, while it s still relatively unheard of today, it boasts an enviously high survival rate. Richard Adkins, forestry supervisor for the city, is charged with managing its urban forest. In an interview with azcentral.com, Adkins admits that the largest challenge he faces is lack of citizen awareness of the existence and benefit of Phoenix s urban forest. Surprising and frustrating, since a 2013 inventory documented over 92,000 trees, palms, and tall cacti within the city. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says urban forests cool cities, save energy, improve air quality, strengthen quality of place and local economy, reduce storm water runoff, improve social connections, help promote smart growth, and create walkable communities. With such tangible benefits directly available from a wellmanaged urban forest, public funds should be pouring Once considered impractical and improbable, arid lands restoration projects have become examples of into Adkins office. Unfortunately, they do not. As azcentral.com points out, the city designates funds for the maintenance of established trees in its urban forest, but
4 not for the planting of new trees, or even for replacement of lost trees. While tall pot plant use in urban areas may remain a challenge, their suitability for restoration projects is being properly utilized. The Flood Control District s In an , Adkins writes he s familiar with the benefits of tall pots and if the opportunity to utilize tall pot material for a project was to arise, I am certainly in favor of using the material. nursery maintains the ability to grow 8,500 trees at a time and typically coordinates two to three restoration efforts each year in conjunction with their flood control construction projects. Given the ability of tall pot vegetation to thrive in arid environments with minimal maintenance and limited irrigation, the connection between Richard Adkins, the forestry supervisor, and Harry Cooper, the flood control district s landscape architect, should be an instant At least with these efforts I may find myself once again listening to frogs in the desert after a summer storm. This time, however, thanks to tall pot plant restoration, I will hopefully stroll through a grove of trees, instead of standing staring at just one. win. Adkins says in an that public preference dramatically favors top growth when selecting plants for residential or commercial use. Cooper, surrounded by his nursery saplings, emphatically and disappointedly agrees. Despite the demonstrable superiority of tall pot trees in dry desert environments, these plants are not mass-produced because there s just not a market for them. They are not as aesthetically pleasing as conventionally grown plants when first transplanted.
