grow a healthy lake!

Lawn care habits affect local waterways!Clean water in Lake Michigan depends, largely, on us. Even our landscaping practices make a difference. Lawn and garden chemicals applied in the Lake Michigan basin can wind up in the water, polluting the lakes with pesticides and excess fertilizer. It’s easy to adopt healthy landscape practices. Explore this site for information to help you switch to lawn and garden methods that protect Lake Michigan. You’ll see that healthy landscapes can be beautiful, easy and inexpensive.
