| Maxi Administrative Staff Members... Win Home Opener Tigers Tickets... |
|
Comerica Park |
| April was an exciting month for many reasons. For one, spring started and with spring comes another great American pastime, baseball! Two of our office staff were there for the Detroit Tigers home opener. The next question is: a.) how did they manage to get tickets and b.) how did they get permission to leave work? The answer is that Amanda smashed an old office computer monitor (non-functional) live on the radio to win tickets! |
 |
| Amanda took her best friend, who is also a Maxi employee, Annette to the game. Annette and Amanda rode in style to the game in a limousine! They had a great time and got the rest of the day off work! Way to go girls! |

| DIY Container Gardening... Hanging Planters... |
 |
|
There are a variety of plants you can grow in hanging planters. Peppers, tomatoes, green beans, strawberries...the list goes on. With an abundance of options what is stopping you from turning that small space into a beautiful garden? Grow your own fruits and vegetables, even in a small space! Two types of hanging planters easily made from our 5-gallon pails are the strawberry planter (also good for peppers or green beans), with six 2" holes on the sides. The upside down Tomato Planter, has a single 2" hole in the bottom and the plant actually grows upside down! Be creative and turn that small patio / balcony space into luscious GREEN scenery.
