If you didn’t take the Lorrie Otto Bus Tour on Saturday, and even if you did, I hope you’ll take my Grass Roots Tour at National Night Out tomorrow, Tuesday, August 7, 4:30 to 7:30, on the west side of Atwater School. You don’t need a bus, for it’s an 8-foot tour of an 8-foot table and features information on some of the many ways to pass up those lawn pesticides that pollute our land, lake, and lungs.
Stops on the tour include pesticide-free yard signs, native plant catalogues, flyers about rain gardens, rain barrels, and alternative lawn care, risk lists for specific pesticides, door-hangers for neighbors who don’t realize their chemicals are killing your dog, a sign-up sheet for Grass Root Emails, and even some Grass Rooters, happy to chat. If you can’t take the tour, stop by the
Grass Roots web site, which has a lot of information and links, including a contact form if you wish to be on that Email list.
