Corporation of Delta's Ban on the Cosmetic use of Chemical Pesticides
|
||
|
Here at Earthwise, we’ve worked as a community resource for pesticide-free gardening for 15 years. We support the Corporation of Delta’s ban on cosmetic pesticides. Since November 2010, the use of chemical herbicides, insecticides and fungicides for “cosmetic” purposes has been prohibited on all private and public properties in Delta. At Earthwise, we value sustainability and community-building, and focus on providing educational tools to highlight organic, pesticide-free alternatives to conventional gardening, and yard maintenance. We emphasize a holistic, ecological approach to sustaining beautiful plants that are healthy for the environment, the wildlife it hosts, and for our communities. Check out our Earthwise Garden learning resources or stop in and see our staff at our Boundary Bay farm and learning centre. Want more detailed information? We offer courses, workshops, and Market Days that focus on holistic approaches to getting beautiful gardens and healthy crops without herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides. |
