Beginner’s Guide to Basic Gardening (Link in content)

Greetings Deb,

Had a really good time reading Dunnville Horticultural Society’s useful links! I must say that the Beginners Gardening Guide was my favorite. I was hoping I could contribute to making it more awesome.

Sharing our Beginner’s Guide to Basic Gardening with everything that you need to know about gardening types, essentials, tools, maintenance – and even starter veggies! It would be a good addition to your list, and something that your readers can learn from

Will our guide be able to help you?

Regards,

Consumer Notice: Pesticides and their Alternatives

My name is Brooke and I work at ConsumerNotice.org, a website dedicated to providing information about harmful products, environmental hazards, and preventing personal injuries.

As you may know, most pesticides can pose a risk to humans and animals. For this reason, we have published a guide with organic, homemade, and agricultural alternatives.

You can check out the guide here:
