Happy Holidays & Blessing in 2015 To You and Your Loved Ones - From Tom Noll at Heart of Bloomingdale Park
Dear Neighbors & Friends;
For 4 years since landscape designer, sculptor & children's book author Tom Noll moved to our great Bloomingdale neighborhood he fixed, maintains and decorates it for major holidays our "Heart of Bloomingdale Park" and the whimsical "White Bicycle Fence" that is now a popular destination for locals and some tourist that love to get pics taken there.
Tom has been doing this on his own and with his own money as he loves his new home here. He has been lucky to also having been hired to do the Condos at T Street, 1 Rhode Island NW and North Capitol & T St NE and several local homes. And I am sure you can not miss his great 1950's Chevy Recycled Rainbow Truck that is also featured in his book.
Many neighbors old and new have really appreciated having this little pocket park that brings everyone so much joy and smiles!
So as we start this Holiday Season I ask of you two things:
Please acquire his Children's Picture Books: “Trash to Treasure” Series * Recycling Creatively with L.T. - "The Bicycle Fence" and please forward this email to your family & friends all across the country. Or let any 'mommy bloggers', school teachers, librarian or media person know about it.

Second:
As Tom is a great creative landscape designer- plan ahead for Spring cleaning, sprucing up, recreating your gardens. He can work with you in selection of plants, hardscape and also be able to reuse/recycle some of your current plants and even create some easy maintenance gardens (but remember you still need to water so plants can thrive) - Check some of his work beside condo from 29 to 19 on T Street NW. Also check out his "Recycled Sculptures" of Rebar & Sandstone that can be done natural as they are or in vibrant colors. His rates are reasonable and he can also be hired to do maintenance on his work. Schedule a consultation and book him early as he gets busy early in the spring. (571)201-3032
Thank you very much and Happy Holidays & Great New Year to All;

STORYLINE FOR FIRST BOOK:
Little Tommy is not so little any more. He has outgrown his shoes, clothes and bicycle all in one summer! L.T. (as he is now called) longs for a brand new bike, but when his father builds him one from recycled junkyard parts, L.T. is embarrassed to ride it to school. Can he come up with a creative idea that not only gives him a good-as-new bike, but also provides a new fence for his yard… and helps save the planet in the process?
This delightful first book in Tom Noll’s “Trash to Treasure” series, based on events from the author’s own childhood, will inspire young readers to reinvent, repurpose, recreate, reuse and recycle in ways that are both practical and fun.
