New Year’s Resolution #6: Save more money.

Maybe you should put away more of your hard-earned dollars in your savings this year?

Most of us don’t have silver dollars, but the leaves of this silver dollar eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) bring this to mind. This tree hails from Australia. It has a lovely scent that repels insects, including mosquitos and fleas. Maybe this tree could help you save money this year, in your ‘pest management’ budget!
