Join Us in the Healthy Yard Pledge
Orinda Garden Club supports the GCA by encouraging members to take the Healthy Yard Pledge. As a residential suburb the majority of our land is privately owned by citizens like us and together, we can make a difference.
Join us by taking the pledge today! www.tghyp.com The Healthy Yard Pledge: I pledge to take care of my yard without synthetic pesticides, weed killers and fertilizers except on rare occasions to resolve an infestation or to improve habitat for native plants and wildlife. I also pledge not to throw pharmaceuticals or chemicals down my drains or toilets.” |
