 Lush Lawns without Chemicals  

Do you want a healthy and safe lawn? Just because weed and insect controls can be bought at a store doesn't mean they are safe. Weed and insect controls are designed to be toxic. Fertilizers are often used unnecessarily, wasting money and polluting our waters. We can help you reduce the use of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides and still have a lush, green lawn!

Native Plants for Water Quality, Wildlife, and WOW!

When choosing plants for your home landscape, why not choose a native or native cultivar that will be well-adapted to the environment, provide habitat for wildlife, and add a certain something special to your landscape? Join us to meet native perennials and shrubs that can be found locally and learn which non-natives to avoid. Learn tips and techniques on how to improve your landscape with all of these elements in mind. 

Beef Up Your Buffer: When More is Better...and Why

Whether you are building a “living fence” along your property or your aim is to improve water quality by reducing erosion and run-off along your waterfront, a buffer is what you need! Vegetated buffers absorb water and nutrients, trap excess soil, provide wildlife habitat, and mimic natural systems to create a dynamic landscape to enjoy in all seasons.
