Create a healthy, peaceful sanctuary

With today's busy and computer-driven lives, we're sometimes pressed to find time for a walk in the local park or forest preserve. Yet we know in our hearts that it's good for the kids – and for us adults, too. And sure enough, research backs that hunch. So what's a busy person to do? Bring nature home. By using these resources along with our free on-site advice, you can invite nature to your property and reap its benefits daily. Whose day isn't brightened by a hummingbird at the window or a butterfly outside the garage door? What kid doesn't need the chance to catch a toad or watch a pair of phoebes feed their babies? And what dog wouldn't benefit from a chemical-free lawn on which to catch balls?
