We couldn't be more thrilled to be from Eugene today! Our city came together to pass the first official ban on the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on city property. Yesss!
Neonicotinoid pesticides have been scientifically linked to the decline of honey bee colonies. You can read more about the ban here. All of us at Mountain Rose Herbs understand the importance of organic growing methods and always choose organic herbal products - like our line of medicinal herb seeds from Horizon Herbs for those of you planning your herb garden for the year. The bees will love you!
Check out our awesome "Pesticide-Free Area" garden sign! Want one for your garden? You can find them here. We are proud to partner with Pesticide Action Network! Mountain Rose Herbs will donate 25% of the profits from each sign sold to this much loved organization.
Topics: Sustainability, Specialty Ingredients
