At YardSmartMarin, we are focused on the silver linings.

These are strange days. We are all facing a lot of uncertainty and change. It can be easy to get swept up in all of the things outside of our control.
 

We encourage you to take a moment to focus on the things that bring you peace. For us, it's spending time in the garden. Usually it's hard to find the time to tackle all of our projects but we have a lot more time at home these days! 

This crisis has also helped us remember what is truly important: our health. Keeping our homes healthy places to be, free of toxic chemicals, feels more important than ever.

It's spring and weeds are proliferating. We find it incredibly calming to sit outside in the sun and do some weeding. For more suggestions on how to handle weeds without pesticides, visit the Weeds section of our website. 

Don't have a garden? Now is the perfect time to start! Here is how to choose the right plants from the start, including plants that attract pollinators to your yard. 



Don’t have the plants and garden supplies you need? Many garden stores are open during the shelter-in-place and they have modified their hours and customer service to be physical-distancing compliant. Check out this article or contact them to learn more and support your local small businesses!
