Enjoying the Gift of the Beautiful Outdoors

Who doesn’t love Michigan summers? From our lakes to our woodlands and gardens, there are countless reasons to love this beautiful state! So, what are some things each of us can do to keep our state beautiful and our environment clean?

  • Composting is a great way to create a free source of high-quality soil. If you haven’t composted before, there is plenty of information online to guide you through the process.
  • Rather than collecting your grass cuttings, leave them on your lawn so that they become its nutrients and soil.
  • Go natural! Many products that kill weeds and pests have harmful side effects on people, pets, and the honeybees that we need for plant propagation. Ask an expert at your local nursery to help you find natural products that don’t harm us or the environment.
