Healthy Yards USA

Healthy Yards is organized by a team of professional gardeners, master gardeners, and passionate garden enthusiasts in Westchester County. We are active both locally and nationally, working with a wide range of organizations and governmental bodies. Our goal is simple: to inform and inspire people to adopt healthier yard practices.

We believe healthy yards are common sense—but if we want our neighbors and towns to rethink landscaping, we need to get out and communicate. Across the United States, many environmental organizations focus on different aspects of healthier yards, from native plants and bird habitats to Pollinator Pathways and electrification.

Still, one of the most important elements is communication—between homeowners, neighbors, and local governments. That’s why we encourage everyone to start their own local ‘Healthy Yards’ group. Maybe you already have one in the form of a “Pollinator Pathway’ or ‘Wild Ones’ initiative,  or maybe you’re just wondering how to begin. Either way, we’re here to help: we can answer questions, connect you with others, and share resources.
