While these can be picturesque and function- al for adults, they may not be entirely practical for home- owners who have young children, especially when the majority of the yard is cov- ered with paving stones or concrete. When young children are part of a household, home- owners may benefi t by de- signing yards that are both functional and fun. Incorpo- rating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock the po- tential of both big and small backyards. As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scal- ing ladders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That's why adults must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in mind. SafestPlayground.com in- Creating a safe and enjoyable backyard play area for kids dicates that playground-re- lated injuries routinely result in severe fractures, internal injuries, concussions, and dislocations. In the majority of playground injuries to chil- dren younger than age 5, the head and face are affected. Children between the ages of 5 and 9 experience more leg and arm injuries than younger kids. The Consumer Product Safety Commission states 70 percent of chil- dren's injuries occur on home playgrounds. More than 28,000 children are injured each year on playgrounds across Canada, according to Parachute, a national injury prevention organization. When considering play- ground equipment for the yard, parents need to make safety a priority. The Canada Safety Society advises par- ents to follow the "5 S's of Playground Safety": Surface, structures, site, supervision, and safety. • Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equip- ment with a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be between six and 12 inches deep. • Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was once the standard, but it's not adviseable for kids' play- grounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and young children may ac- tually bite or pick at the wood. Use cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the structure is built, inspect it frequently for damage. • Site: Look around the landscape for an ideal place to locate the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhang- ing branches and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing. Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make components heat up and scald young bodies. • Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are playing. Prevent children from using the playset in an incorrect manner. • Safety: Follow the direc- tions for installation. Make sure all posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them. Check that metal components have not rusted and that there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools or oth- er dangerous items are left around the yard. Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind. Learn the rules of play equipment and yard safety. L awns and gardens can bear the brunt of winter weather and are of- ten in need of tender loving care by the time spring arrives. Preparing a garden for spring and summer involves assessing any damage that harsh weather might have caused. As tempera- tures climb, gardeners can heed the follow- ing post-winter garden preparation tips in an effort to ensure some successful gardening in the months ahead. • Assess the damage. Even if winter was mild, gardens might still have suffered some damage. Inspect garden beds and any fenc- ing or barriers designed to keep wildlife from getting into the garden. Before planting anew, fi x any damage that Mother Nature or local wildlife might have caused over the past several months. • Clear debris. Garden beds and surround- ing landscapes that survived winter without being damaged might still be littered with debris. Remove fallen leaves, branches and even litter that blew about on windy winter days before planting season. Make sure to discard any debris effectively so it does not fi nd its way back into the garden. • Turn the greenhouse into a clean house. Spring cleaning is not just for the interior of a home. Cleaning a greenhouse in advance of spring can help gardeners evict any over- wintering pests that can threaten plant life once spring gardening season arrives. A thorough cleaning, which should include cleaning the inside of greenhouse glass and washing fl ower pots and plant trays, also can prevent plant diseases from surviving into spring. • Check for pests. Speak with a local gar- dening professional to determine if there are any local pests to look out for and how to recognize and remove these pets from gar- dens. Pests may hibernate in the soil over the winter, and such unwelcome visitors can make it diffi cult for gardens to thrive come spring and summer. • Assess plant location. If plants, fl owers or gardens have struggled in recent years or never grew especially vibrant, then gar- deners may want to assess the location of their plant life before spring gardening sea- son begins. Some plants may not be getting enough sunlight in certain locations on a property, while others might be overexposed to the sun during spring and summer. Mov- ing plants that are not thriving prior to the start of spring gardening season may be just what gardens need to fl ourish in the coming weeks. Spring gardening season is right around the corner, so now is an ideal time to prepare gardens for the warmer seasons ahead. Start off on the right foot 200 W.
