Pine Hill Nursery Workshop

Do you love the clear, clean water in front of your home? Do you enjoy swimming and boating on the water? Do you want to keep the water clean for your kids and grandkids? Of course, you do and that’s why you’ve made a major investment in waterfront property.

BUT, did you know that 50% of the pollution in our lakes comes from things we do in our yards and gardens? How you care for your yard and yard waste, as well as household activities, makes a difference in the quality of the water in the lake.

Pine Hill Nursery is pleased to invite you to a special series called Lakescape Lunch and Learn to help you find ways you can protect the water you love. Call 231/599-2824 to sign up. Join us for lunch at our Garden Café at 12:30. The workshop after lunch is free.
