Northwest Natural Yard Days

NW Natural Yard Days Go Natural! You can have a yard that's healthy and beautiful!

Northwest Natural Yard Days (NNYD) encourages residents of King County and surrounding areas to practice natural yard care by offering discounts on natural yard care product sales in the spring each year.

The 2008 sales are over but you can practice natural yard care by mowing with a non-polluting mulch mower (external), grasscycling (PDF, 337 K), and using less toxic pest and weed control and water conserving tools. Ask your local home improvement, nursery or garden store retailer about the natural yard care products they carry.

Northwest Natural Yard Days endorses the regional five steps of natural yard care:

1. Build healthy soil
2. Plant right for your site
3. Practice smart watering
4. Think twice before using pesticides
5. Practice natural lawn care
