Also for sale will be our specially printed Gift Cards for a home garden ecology assessment, discovering hidden and unknown native ground covers, grasses and shrubs, identifying the weeds, and suggesting a strategy of natural, low-energy techniques for replacement of weeds by a diverse, healthy native plant community, with specific techniques of manual weed control. for kikuyu, Tradescantia, ginger, privets, weed vines, or whatever you have.
