Buy a Pesticide-Free Zone sign for $12 and display it in your yard.
Be a model for your community and show your neighbors that pesticide-free lawns and gardens are important for the health of children, families, pets, the environment and the community. At eight inches (8″) in diameter, these aluminum enameled signs will not rust and will retain their bright colors for years!
Each sign you purchase comes with our own Natural Lawn Care fact sheets on how to maintain your pesticide-free landscape and spread the word about the benefits of pesticide-free spaces.
Buy a copy of “The Organic Lawn Care Manual: A Natural, Low-Maintenance System for a Beautiful, Safe Lawn”
by Paul Tukey for $15. In this easy-to-read and visually appealing manual, Tukey explains how to evaluate lawn-care needs, how grass grows, how to create healthy soil, and how to select grass that is drought tolerant and disease resistant.
There are chapters on starting a lawn from scratch or refurbishing an existing lawn, making the transition from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, watering, weeding, dealing with pests and diseases, and mowing and maintenance.
Purchase a sign or book (or both for $25!) by calling (773) 878-7378.
