SUMMARY:Natural Yard Care Webinars
DESCRIPTION:NATURAL YARD CARE WEBINARS\nwith Ladd Smith\nBrought to you by Clean Water Kitsap and the WSU Master Gardener Program \nWhy go natural? Much of the pollution in water occurs from polluted rain runoff. Rain washes the pesticides and chemicals from fertilizers off of your yard into nearby streets and storm drains. The water that flows into these storm systems is often untreated and goes directly into our local creeks and streams. \nYou can still grow a healthy\, beautiful lawn using natural yard techniques. We’ll help you get started. In 1994\, Ladd Smith co-founded In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes\, with his business partner Mark Gile\, out of his lifelong passion for protecting the environment. In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes is a provider of organic based landscape services in King\, Snohomish and Pierce counties. He earned his BS degree in Ornamental Horticulture from the University of Nevada\, Reno. \nApril 30th at 6:30pm\nREGISTER NOW \nMay 3rd at 10:00am\nREGISTER NOW \nMay 8th at 6:30pm\nREGISTER NOW
