About Yard Spice

Yard Spice Organics LLC. was formed in 2001 when it’s founder concluded a college research project, that determined the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides were affecting our health and contaminating our environment. Using Organic - Natural Fertilizers and Methods are just as effective and far better then taking the health risk, and polluting our environment.

In the pamphlet "Healthy Lawn, Healthy Environment," the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states: "Thick grass prevents soil erosion, filters contaminants from rainwater, and absorbs many types of airborne pollutants, like dust and soot. Grass is also highly efficient at converting carbon dioxide to oxygen, a process that helps clean the air. Caring for your lawn properly can both enhance its appearance and contribute to its environmental benefits."

Townsend Public Officials are taking steps to improve the environment, by allowing Yard Spice Organics, LLC implement an organic natural program on the municipal lawn areas at the Town Hall, Library and town commons.

Scientists are finding increasing evidence that exposure to some environmental factors jeopardizes children’s health and may relate to large increases in the number of children diagnosed with asthma, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, and developmental impairment. Evidence is also strong that environmental health risks disproportionately affect children. Their nervous, immune, digestive, and other bodily systems are still developing while they receive disproportionately greater exposure to pollutants. - By 3 years of age, children with high exposure to pesticides before birth were 11 times more likely to have attention problems, 6.5 times more likely to have ADHD diagnosis, and 5 times more likely to have PDD diagnosis than children with low exposure. These results show that not only is there an association between prenatal exposures to high levels of pesticides and neurodevelopmental delays, but also that symptoms of these delays begin to present strongly during preschool years.
