Evergreen - Last Minute Gift Idea

Daniel Mosquin · Dec 20, 2006

I'm posting this on behalf of Evergreen, a Canadian charity that "explores the relationship between nature, culture and community in urban spaces".

The below is applicable to BC's Lower Mainland:

Evergreen's Lawn and Garden Smart Program

The promotion is regarding our $75 consultation service that is designed to help homeowners and renters develop sustainable yard care practices. This program is only available in the GVRD. A horticultural advisor visits the client’s home/yard and assesses current yard care methods and provides suggestions on:

- low-impact lawn care

- waterwise gardening

- natural pest control

- composting

- plant selection

- design tips

“Home Grounds is one of Evergreen’s three core national programs that works to make cities more livable and communities by actively engaging people in creating accessible, dynamic natural areas. By bringing nature and communities together, and focusing on local stewardship, Evergreen is transforming the way cities are being designed. Home Grounds educates people about environmental sustainability starting from their front step, providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to promote sustainable yard care practices in their own personal space. It promotes approaches to home landscaping that will improve health and safety for renters, homeowners, their families and pets.”

Evergreen is promoting sustainable, green gift-giving for the holidays! In addition to the one-hour consultation, clients are provided with:

- An Evergreen Lawn and Garden Smart Care Package that includes a personalized Yard Care Report

- 2” Rain Gauge

- Evergreen gardening gloves

- Additional resources that compliment the consultation

- On-going support

In addition to our consultation program, Evergreen also offers other value-added services:

- Design services – accredited landscape designers offer full landscape plans, with plants, hardscapes and other facilities laid out

- Native Plant Buying Club – we’re currently working with Lower Mainland nurseries to offer easier access to a large selection of native plants
