We at Natural
Home and Garden are seeking natural solutions to common garden
needs. We value our own health, and we value yours. So we have decided
to provide free information to the public about healthy alternatives
to insecticides (bug killers) and herbicides (weed killers). We are
also providing information about gardening with native Northwest plants,
gardening to attract birds and butterflies, and which plants to avoid.
We are not selling anything. Our only aim is to help create a healthier
and more beautiful world for all of us.
A growing body
of scientific research is pointing to common bug killers and weed
killers as primary causes of a variety of diseases. We want to be
part of the solution, and we invite you to join us. Please check out
the links to the left and discover the many ways that you can naturally
treat your driveways, shrub
beds, blackberries, and lawn
weeds.
Our volunteers will be
testing other non-toxic weeding options. Please share your ideas by
e-mailing us.
Natural gardening
can also mean gardening with native plants. Check out our Native
Plants link to discover the beauty of gardening familiar Northwest
shrubs. Check out our Birds and
Butterflies link to learn which plants and flowers will help turn
your garden into a sanctuary. And don't miss our Plants
to Avoid link to find out which plants could spread beyond your
dream garden.
Our Coastal
Resources page lists a variety of resources in Lincoln County,
plus a couple of other important resources. On this page you will
find out where you can buy seeds, fertilizers, garden supplies, garden
tools, rental equipment, and information on natural gardening. Check
it out!
| "In
all honesty at the end of our days, no one will ever be remembered
by their uniform, weed-free lawn and 100 percent bug-free plants
courtesy of the chemical companies. Your kids may remember how
you helped instill a sense of wonder in them, your kindness, generosity
of spirit, and how you looked out for their welfare; how you may
have told them about the value of birds in the yard, their beauty,
and the importance of lady bugs..." Nancy Morris, Seattle
area writer. |
