Green Yards and Healthy Homes

Our yards and homes have an enormous impact on the natural world and to our own health. Learn how to replace chemicals in your yard and home with a few inexpensive, all-natural, effective ingredients to create a healthy habitat for all.

Check our events page for upcoming Green Yards Healthy Homes workshops.  Workshop participants will learn how to reduce their environmental impact at home – both inside and out – and will have the opportunity to make one or more safe and environmentally-friendly indoor/outdoor recipes such as all-purpose cleaner and weed killer.
