Detox your garden

A healthier yard begins with getting your greenery off drugs.

Choose heartier plants, clean up diseased or dead plants to get rid of pest-infested areas, remove weeds by hand, or better yet, learn to live with a few imperfect plants.

Get a healthier lawn with proper mowing, watering, upkeep and fertilization. Sign up for a City of Vancouver pest-control or yard-care workshop by calling 604-736-2250, or search “grow natural” at www.city.vancouver.bc.ca.
