Welcome to the premiere episode of "Peachtree City: Off the Path," a captivating series by the City of Peachtree City that explores the hidden gems along the city's 100-plus miles of multi-use paths. In this inaugural episode, join us on an inspiring journey with Stephanie Phillips and Katie Phillips, the visionary owners of Bread and Butter.

Their boutique first opened its doors in Newnan, before relocating to the Heirloom Market building in Sharpsburg.

Stormwater runoff containing excessive amounts of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers is a significant threat to water quality. There are several things one can do to protect the water quality in our lakes and streams;

• Limit the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

• Do not apply pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers if heavy rain is predicted.

• Rather than broadcasting herbicides, spot-treat only those areas that contain weeds.

• Maintain a small lawn and keep the rest of your property or yard in a natural state with trees and other native vegetation that require little or no fertilizer.

• Make sure to properly dispose of any unused portions. Do not dump pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers down a storm drain.
