Backyard Abundance

About Us

Most everyone feels a desire to improve the health of our environment, but when faced with our monumental environmental problems the task seems too large--understanding how to proceed can feel overwhelming. In recognition of this frustration, Backyard Abundance was created to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to understand how your contributions can directly improve our environment.

Summer 2006
