Website template critiquing!

Hello, I just finished (I think) designing a client's template but want a fresh pair of eyes to look at it and give some suggestions on things to change. Be nice- I'm colorblind.

The company (obviously gardencenter/landscape) uses lots of angular/rectangular shapes in their advertisements and other graphical stuff, so I'm trying not to sway too far from this theme. I'm looking for a clean, sophisticated theme that's warm and friendly enough to the average person.

The image at the top is temporary- It will be a flash rotating image header, but they haven't provided me with any images yet. There's a lot of green... I'm not sure if it's too much or not, but I know I need a good amount of green (that's the way they like it) so I don't want a bunch of bright and different colors on the page.

Let me know what you think! Thanks.

I like the design overall, but a few pointers:

- The font used for the main content is nasty. Use a different one, and sort the line-height out.

- The header doesn't seem to be aligned properly. Think it needs to be shifted right a little.

Thank- I didn't even notice the header wasn't properly aligned

Whats wrong with the main content font? It's Arial 10px - clean, easy to read and standard on all systems. Any specific font suggestions (thanks for the line height thing though fixed that also)

Maybe its a bit cliched, but in my opinion, you can't usually go wrong with a nice Verdana in a dark shade of grey.
