For Immediate Release:
November 29, 2005

Danbury, Connecticut – As part of United Way - Northern Fairfield County’s Fundraiser with Radio Station I-95 out of Brookfield, Coopers has provided a Water Garden at no charge for auctioning off with Neil Hedley – the Guy in the Sky promotion. United Way is looking to close the gap in funding to better support the 38 Agencies it helps fund on an annual basis. June Renzulli, president of United Way approached Brad Cooper of Coopers Landscape Supplies, the largest Aquatics Center in Fairfield County to assist.

A sample water garden was built at the promotional site opposite North Street Shopping Center which includes aquatic plants and fish to complete the balanced eco-system, the start of a Natural Habitat for any person’s yard. Brad stated that the water garden will be an 8 foot by 11 foot water feature to build a relaxing Life Style for the highest bidder’s busy life. The water garden has been reported to add 15% value to ones home in a national survey researched by www.AquascapeDesigns.com out of Chicago.

Brad and his wife Lyn own Coopers (formerly known as Cooper Mulch) and were delighted to assist by offering a water garden installation valued at $3,500 as part of the fundraising effort. Brad stated that he has always been community minded with mentoring in the Norwalk School System for years while employed with Perkin-Elmer and today as President of Family & Childrens Aid’s (www.FCAweb.org) Board of Directors.

Coopers, a Landscape Supply company located in Danbury by the airport is now celebrating their ten year anniversary. Prior to being in business for themselves, Brad worked at Perkin-Elmer in Norwalk for 24 years in Customer Service and Information Technology and Lyn operated a Family Day Care.
