Land Rovers are engineered to get through even the most extreme elements, whether that’s crawling over a boulder in Moab, Utah, or powering through a blizzard in Lake Tahoe. While many Land Rovers may never ford a 2-foot-deep stream, the vehicle’s impressive capabilities cement its rugged status. And, with the introduction of Land Rover’s new 2015 Discovery Sport, not only is this go-anywhere SUV now more accessible, but it also delivers a distinct luxury edge.
From the curb, the 2015 Discovery Sport shows off a chiseled, geometric shape that’s defined on the side by a dramatically styled rear door that slants forward and stops just short of the floating gloss-black roof. A clamshell hood, distinctive side air intakes and jewel-like headlamps evoke the top-of-the-line Range Rover model, though the Discovery Sport can be had for less, starting at just $37,995. The fully loaded Discovery Sport HSE Luxury version, which adds a premium 11-speaker sound system, Windsor leather seats, and a slew of other detail and technology touches, goes for $45,570.

Even though California might have some of the most beautiful weather anywhere, and an almost year-round growing season, every gardener still has to endure a number of potentially plant-destroying situations. Variances in the quality of soil, pests, and lack of (or too much) sunlight or water can devastate even the best-laid plans and gardens.
However, the good people at GroGreen Box have come up with a solution as innovative as it is effective: raised-garden box kits. Lovingly handcrafted out of genuine California redwood, these planters provide an attractive as well as functional way to grow and nurture almost any type of fruit or vegetable year round.
